CELPIP Test in Abuja Is Now Open: Sit Canada’s Official English Test at Galaxy Uniprep in Cooperation with Dragnet
The wait is over for Abuja. Candidates planning to immigrate to Canada, apply for Canadian citizenship, or pursue professional licensing in Canada can now sit the CELPIP test in Abuja right here in the FCT. Galaxy Uniprep Centre, in cooperation with Dragnet — the official CELPIP delivery partner in Nigeria — is now hosting the CELPIP test in Abuja at our Kado location.
If you have been searching online for “CELPIP test in Abuja”, “where to write CELPIP in Nigeria”, or “CELPIP test centre near me”, this is the announcement you have been waiting for. Until recently the only CELPIP venue in Nigeria was located in Victoria Island, Lagos. With the Abuja venue now operational, candidates from the FCT, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Minna, Lokoja, and other parts of Northern Nigeria no longer need to fly down to Lagos.
Where to Sit the CELPIP Test in Abuja
The CELPIP test in Abuja is delivered at the Dragnet Test Centre located in Kado District, Abuja — the same district as Galaxy Uniprep Centre on Ahmadu Bello Way. Galaxy Uniprep works in close cooperation with Dragnet to support candidates with preparation, registration guidance, and pre-test consultation. The official Abuja venue listing on the CELPIP website confirms the centre’s address and operating details: Dragnet Test Center Abuja — official CELPIP listing.
How to Register for the CELPIP Test in Abuja
All CELPIP registrations are processed exclusively through the official CELPIP website. Test centres in Nigeria — including the Abuja venue — do not handle registrations directly. To register for the CELPIP test in Abuja:
- Create or sign in to your CELPIP Account at celpip.ca/country/nigeria
- Select the Dragnet Test Center Abuja venue from the available locations
- Choose your preferred test date and complete payment
- Bring valid, original ID on test day (passport recommended for IRCC-related applications)
For preparation classes, in-person registration support, or general study-abroad consultation in Abuja, you can contact Galaxy Uniprep Centre directly. We have supported thousands of Nigerian students in their international exam and university journeys since 2008.
What Is the CELPIP Test?
CELPIP — short for the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program — is Canada’s leading English-language proficiency test, developed by Paragon Testing Enterprises. It is one of the official tests designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency applications, and it is accepted for Canadian citizenship and many professional designations.
There are two versions of the test:
CELPIP-General — used for Canadian permanent residency under Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), and the Canadian Experience Class.
CELPIP-General LS (Listening and Speaking) — used specifically for Canadian citizenship applications and certain professional licensing bodies.
The CELPIP-General test takes approximately three hours and covers four skills in a single computer-delivered sitting: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Official results are available in your CELPIP Account within 3 to 4 business days after the test date.
Why the CELPIP Test in Abuja Matters for Northern Nigeria
Before this venue opened, every Nigerian candidate had to travel to Lagos to write the test. For candidates based across the North, this meant flights, hotels, and additional stress on an already demanding day. Bringing the CELPIP test in Abuja online means candidates can now:
– Sit the CELPIP-General or CELPIP-General LS locally in the FCT
– Avoid inter-state travel and accommodation costs
– Walk into the venue rested and prepared
– Access results through the official CELPIP Account within 3–4 business days
For candidates also weighing other English tests such as TOEFL or IELTS, Galaxy Uniprep offers preparation across the full range — see our exam preparation programmes for details.
Why CELPIP Is a Strong Choice for Canada-Bound Nigerians
Built for Canadian English. Vocabulary, accents, and scenarios reflect everyday Canadian life.
Fully computer-based. Speaking responses are recorded into a headset, removing the in-person interview pressure.
Fast results. Most candidates receive their official Score Report in 3–4 business days.
Direct CLB conversion. CELPIP scores convert directly to Canadian Language Benchmarks, used to award Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points in Express Entry.
