Changelog
What changed on celpip9, practice for the CELPIP® test, newest first. Each date is the day a change reached the code this site is built from. What is live right now: the status page.
- The Compare page is now drawn rather than written: full tests, free full tests and monthly prices as charts, product by product and in name order; a grid of what each product offers; and where others are ahead as short lists. Prices stay in the currency each page lists. Every figure still links to the page it came from, with the day it was read, and the full table is one click away.
- Payments are open. The Monthly plan, the three-month plan and the test pack can be bought on the Billing page, through Stripe, in Canadian dollars. Your first purchase is refunded in full if you ask within three days of the payment, straight from the Billing page.
- The Compare page now sets other CELPIP® practice products beside celpip9, row by row: price, free start, full tests, Writing and Speaking feedback, how the level is shown and whether accuracy is published. Every fact links to the product’s own page or store listing with the day it was read, and where a page does not say, the table says Not stated. Some products also have a page of their own, comparing them with celpip9 and saying where each one is ahead.
- The site header now opens on the four skills of the CELPIP® test: each one lists its parts or tasks and takes you to their sets, with the guide and the free start beside them. Compare and Pricing sit next to them; the guide, the trust panel and the methodology moved to the footer.
- Picking a part before you have an account is remembered: after sign-up, your first step is that part’s free set.
- Writing and Speaking are scored. Each task gets an AI estimate, shown as a range and based on the published performance-standard dimensions, with feedback that quotes your own sentences and shows them revised. It is an estimate, not a CELPIP score.
- The home page now starts with what is inside: every skill with its parts and sets, what is free and what is paid, and every task of the test with a link to its guide. Every count on it is taken from our content bank when the site is built.
- A new public Practice page lists every part and task of the test with the titles and topics of its sets — never the questions themselves. The market review moved from the home page to the methodology page.
- Our emails now contain a small open-tracking image from our email provider, Resend, so we can tell whether service emails arrive; links are still not tracked. The privacy policy says so, and each email is signed “celpip9.com”.
- The privacy policy lists one more thing we keep: when you first open a finished report, only so we do not email you that it is ready once you have seen it.
- One name for each thing you can take: a full test (all four components in one sitting), a section (one component on its own, now only under Practice), and soon a task set (one part or task). The plan once called “Until your test” is now named for its length.
- Error tags show their plain name first; the short code stays beside it.
- The free plan is simpler: one full test, one set of each part and task, and every strategy lesson and vocabulary topic. It replaces the free Listening and Reading sections; whole sections come with a subscription. Without a plan, a test without Speaking now uses a full test from your quota.
- The pricing page shows three plans side by side with the same rows, the test pack as a separate line, and a table of what each plan includes.
- Accounts are open, so the home page now asks you to take your free full test instead of joining a waiting list. Sharing the level you receive after your test stays optional, with its own consent on your Progress page.
- The privacy policy describes the earlier waiting list as closed: the entries are kept only until you ask us to remove them, are never written to, and never become an account.
- A refund guarantee: your first purchase is refunded in full if you ask within three days of the payment, no questions asked, straight from the Billing page. The refund ends that plan at once, and your reports stay. It replaces the earlier refund terms, and applies once per account.
- The privacy policy names Cloudflare Web Analytics, the cookieless page-load measurement of the company that runs the site.
- The privacy policy now says where recordings are stored: in the European Union (the Netherlands), not the United States as it said before.
- A redesigned home page. Every figure on it comes from its published source or our evaluation output, the report preview is marked as an invented example, and the page says plainly what is not live yet: Writing and Speaking scoring and feedback, and payments.
- The Express Entry points figure on the home page now gives the exact range from the IRCC table rather than a rounded one.
- Practice tests have names and show a few of the topics inside. They are no longer labelled as calibrated: that claim waits until it is measured against results learners report.
- Section practice and Listening and Reading drills run on the practice tests in the bank, starting with one you have not done that section on. The preview form is no longer listed with them.
- Accounts: sign in with a code sent to your email, no password. Your profile and consents are kept with your account, and you can delete the account yourself in Settings.
- The privacy policy names every provider that processes your information, and where.
- A status page that shows what is live and how to report a problem, and this changelog.
- Errors on our server are logged (what failed and where, not who) and deleted within seven days. Error reports from browsers can be switched on, with personal data removed before anything is sent. The privacy policy describes both.
- The site moved to its own address, celpip9.com.
- Strategy lessons for every Listening and Reading part and every Writing and Speaking task, in the public guide and in the app.
- Vocabulary sets on everyday Canadian themes in the app, linked from the lessons. Each word comes with a plain meaning and a prompt to write your own sentence, never a ready-made sentence.
- More full practice tests joined the bank, each with its Listening audio.
- The end-of-test report scores Listening and Reading against the answer key and shows the estimated level as a range.
- Cookieless usage counting with Umami Cloud is ready to switch on, to see whether people can start and finish a practice test; nothing is counted until it is. No personal data; the privacy policy names the provider.
- The trust panel reports scoring consistency, measured by our evaluation pipeline.
- Listening parts play recorded audio, served from our own storage.
- The waiting list stores sign-ups.
- The trust panel shows its first measured figure: answer-key accuracy, from our content gates.
- The sources page links each cited figure to its verified source, with the date it was checked.
- First public version: the landing page, pricing and quotas, the trust panel, methodology, sources and the legal pages.
- A clickable preview of the product: practice tests that follow the published test format, reports, practice and lessons.
- A device check before every practice test (sound always, the microphone whenever Speaking is included) and an instruction screen before each section. The timer starts only when you begin.
- A test drive of the test mechanics, and a public guide to how the test works.
- The waiting list, with a separate consent for sharing your result after your test.
- The first practice test from our content engine joined the bank.
