Hi I am applying for Express Entry to move to Canada from the US. However, all the IELTS testing centers in the US are closed, Does anyone know of any alternatives for the language test that is accepted by the the Canadian government? Or when the testing centers will open again?

Not all. New Jersey is open.

CELPIP is the alternate test

Go for CELPIP

Or IELTS Newark computer assisted

French, maybe?

CELPIP-register for a session and then keep an eye out for any earlier sessions becoming available. Rescheduling is free up until a certain amount of days before your test.
I literally checked that website daily for about a week. Was able to reschedule from November to September and finally to August. It helps to live on the east coast and have some flexibility as to location.

FYI- I did register with the full intention of taking the test in November. My advice is to do your best to plan things out but be flexible.

Hmmm well they had some COVID related procedures in place.

Everybody had to wear masks getting inside the building. The only time you took it off is when they took your photo. They wiped down the pens, keyboards, mouse in between tests.

But there were people sitting next to each other in the test room and I’d argue it wasn’t 6 feet apart.
