Русский What English IELTS Score Is Needed to Immigrate to Canada?
July 23, 2018 – A language test is a mandatory part of the immigration process to Canada. For applicants with English language abilities, the IELTS or CELPIP test score needed for immigration to Canada depends on the program a candidate is targeting.
A starting point is to understand how point scores relate to language abilities.
All programs require a minimum point score to qualify and some programs give candidate more points for achieving language higher levels.
There are also programs which require higher test scores depending on the profession of the candidate.
For example, the medical professions require test scores of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 to qualify for Canada immigration.

For some provincial immigration programs which target demand occupations, required scores may be as low as CLB 4.
It is important to note that candidates with a high level of French may not need any English, and vice versa.
Programs generally ask for proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages. Proficiency means Intermediate abilities in the combination of reading, writing, speaking and understanding English.
However, under the Express Entry system there are points given for a candidate’s first and second official language proficiency.
Knowing both languages will score you more Express Entry points, but this is not a requirement.
Many of Canada’s immigration programs outside Quebec feature priority processing for French-speaking candidates.
The country is investing million of dollars in driving up the number of French-speaking immigrants it welcomes.
What Is IELTS?
IELTS – or the International English Language Testing System – is the world’s most popular English language test.
It grades a candidate in four disciplines – reading, writing, speaking and listening.
The results of the IELTS test correspond to a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score.
IELTS is one of two tests accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for English language proficiency.
The other is the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP).
What Are the Express Entry Points for Languages?
1) First Official Language Express Entry Points
| Test score | With spouse | Single |
| CLB 4 (L4.5, R3.5, W4, S4) or 5 (R4, 5 in all others) | 6 | 6 |
| CLB 6 (5 in Reading, 5.5 in all others) | 8 | 9 |
| CLB 7 (6 in all four abilities) | 16 | 17 |
| CLB 8 (7.5 in Listening, 6.5 in all others) | 22 | 23 |
| CLB 9 (8 in Listening, 7 in all others) | 29 | 31 |
| CLB ≥ 10 (L8.5, R8, W7.5, S7.5) | 32 | 34 |
2) Second Official Language Express Entry Points
| Test score | With spouse | Single |
| CLB 5 or 6 | 1 | 1 |
| CLB 7 or 8 | 3 | 3 |
| CLB ≥ 9 | 6 | 6 |
3) Additional Combination Points for Strong French Language
| Test score | With spouse | Single |
| CLB 7 in French and CLB 4 or less for English | 15 | 15 |
| CLB 7 in French and CLB 5 or higher for English | 30 | 30 |
4) Language Requirements By Program
a) What Are The Language Requirements For The Federal Skilled Worker Program?
You must obtain a minimum level of CLB or NCLC 7 for your first official language in all four language areas. To receive points for your second official language, you must meet the minimum level of CLB or NCLC 5 in all four language areas.
b) What Are The Language Requirements For The Federal Skilled Trades Program?
You must obtain a minimum level of:
- CLB or NCLC 5 in speaking and listening abilities, and
- CLB or NCLC 4 in reading and writing abilities.
c) What Are The Language Requirements For The Canadian Experience Class?
The skills you need for this program will depend on the job classification under Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC):
- NOC 0 or A: CLB / NCLC 7 +
- NOC B: CLB / NCLC 5 and 6
d) What Are The Language Requirements For The Canadian Citizenship?
All applicants for Canadian citizenship aged 18-54 must submit proof that they have adequate knowledge of English or French.
If you decide to submit a third-party language test, the results must be equal to CLB / NCLC level 4 or higher in speaking and listening abilities.
The federal authorities also accept expired test results if they were done for immigration or citizenship purposes.
5) Important Tip
Regardless of the minimum language requirements needed to qualify, immigration programs in Canada are moving towards an expression of interest system. The federal express entry system works in this manner. The provinces of Saskatchewan and Quebec have recently introduced similar systems under their own provincial immigration programs.
Expression of interest management systems operate under periodic draws with each draw affecting a different pool of candidates, with varying qualifications for every draw. As the pool composition changes, the requirements for each draw changes.
Thus, it is important for all candidates who intend to apply for immigration to Canada, take all efforts to attain the highest language scores possible. This will increase your overall ranking scores and thus your chances to immigrate to Canada.

Study in Canada: Step-By-Step Guide for International Students
Apr 30, 2018 – With 21 of the world’s top 500 universities and 32 in the top 1000, Canada welcomes more than 400,000 international students each year. It offers the world’s best study programs and is home to some of the world’s leading research facilities and academic institutions.
If studying abroad is your plan, Canada should be at the top of your list. Read ahead for a step-by-step guide to applying for a Canada Study Permit.
Do you qualify to study in Canada? Answer our Free Study Questionnaire
Step 1: Understand the Requirements
Successfully applying to a Canadian education institution requires an understanding of different requirements for schools and the courses they offer. Candidates also need to conduct careful analysis of the rules and regulations applicable to the study permit application process. Only recognized schools and periods of approved study will be meaningful.
Ideally, you should start planning for your Canadian study permit at least a year in advance. Common requirements for all universities and institutions include an updated passport, proficiency in either English or French along with proof of passing prescribed language tests with minimum grades/bands, and proof that you can finance your study as well as the cost of living in the country.
Of course, requirements may vary between provinces, which is why this step must be performed in a careful and systematic manner.
Step 2: Choose your Course and Institution
The first step towards choosing an institution is to ascertain its status as a Designated Learning Institute. Only DLIs can admit foreign students.
You will be required to finalize a specific major course when applying to study in Canada. The Canadian academic setup is flexible towards switching courses, although it is best to compare your options beforehand and choose a major that you are truly interested in pursuing.
Step 3: Take the Language Proficiency Test
In order to successfully gain entry into Canada, every international student will have to prove proficiency in English or French. IELTS is the preferred test for proficiency in English, with some institutions also accepting the Cambridge English: Advanced or TOEFL exam score.
For French, you can opt for DALF, DELF, or TCF, although the TEF exam is the most common option.
Choose the test, pay the fee, and book your dates well in advance. Of course, you will have to brush up your language skills to ensure your application does not get rejected.
Step 4: Apply to Universities
Now it is time to contact your shortlist of universities, obtain their application packs, and submit them well in advance. Having the choice of applying to a dozen universities can be advantageous but you will have to consider the application fee, which varies from $100 to $250.
Do not apply at random. Compare your options, identify your preferred course and institution, and select one or two alternatives as backups.
Be careful when filling in the application form and make sure you provide accurate information backed with documentary evidence. Once this is done, it is time face the excruciating wait until you receive your acceptance. Once you confirm your interest, the university will send an acceptance letter, which plays a significant role in the formalities ahead.
Step 5: Apply for a Study Permit
Now that you have an institution ready to admit you, it is time to apply for the Canada Study Permit. You can apply online or visit your local visa application centre. Your application must be accompanied by the acceptance letter received in the previous step, your passport, and documentary proof that you have adequate finances to study in Canada.
If you have applied to an institution in the province of Quebec, then you will also receive, along with the acceptance letter, a “Certificat d’acceptation du Québec” (CAQ). Make sure you include this document in your study permit application.
Step 6: Travel Time
Once the application has been processed and an interview, if required, has been conducted, the immigration officer will decide upon your study permit application. If accepted, it is now time to start planning your travel to Canada.
Your permit will have a start date, which is the date from which the permit comes into force. Keep in mind that you won’t be permitted to enter Canada before this date. Plan your travel accordingly.
Step 7: Study Time
The immigration officer will verify your permit and other documents at the port of entry before allowing you to enter Canada. This is the final step of the immigration formalities and you can now focus on commencing your journey as an international student in Canada.
What happens after your studies are completed?
After graduation, Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit allows students to begin their careers here.
Recent changes to the Express Entry selection system have made it easier for international students to make the transition to permanent residence.
There are also multiple provincial immigration streams aimed specifically at international students.

Livestream Video: How International Students Can Immigrate to Canada
The latest immigration.ca livestream focuses on international students and international graduates, and how they are a key part of Canada’s long-term immigration strategy.
Immigration lawyer Colin Singer reviews the federal and provincial programs that are on offered including the most popular program in Quebec.
Here are some of the key elements of the latest livestream video:
Singer Discussing Canada’s International Graduate Strategy
“It is surprising that it has taken this long for policymakers to identify and devise an important component to our immigration program. Studies have long shown that individuals with strong ties to Canada have the best chances for long term success. People who have a history here, who learned the language have the highest rates of employment. So, it’s remarkable that it has taken this long for current policies to be put into gear.”
Watch the Latest Livestream Here:
Singer on Why High Schools, Colleges and Universities Like International Students
“International students are the focus of colleges and universities in Canada, and high schools as well. There’s a lot of push for schools in Canada to go after international students.
“They pay much higher fees, more than double what Canadians pay. One of the screening factors you need to look at is ‘can you afford to be an international student?’ Generally, we tell clients they need to have $25,000 per year to be able to become a post-secondary student in Canada.”
Singer on Federal Level International Graduate Policy
“At the federal level, the government has allocated 15 points of 30 points under the Express Entry system, depending on the duration of post-secondary study. In terms of permanent residence, there is no specific federal program. Instead, they allocate a significant number of Comprehensive Ranking System points.”
Singer on The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
“The Atlantic Immigration Pilot covers the four Atlantic provinces. There is a total of 2,000 spots a year covering the four provinces, including skilled workers. So, there are not that many openings for international graduates.”
Singer on Provincial International Graduate Options
“All of the provinces have their own international graduate programs with varying requirements, whether it’s British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or one of the others. You can access a chart comparing all of the programs here.
“Most of these programs require a job offer and a post-graduate work permit. In Ontario you don’t need a job offer if you’re graduating from a Masters program or a PhD program.”
Singer on Quebec’s International Graduate Options
“By far the best and largest program is Quebec. Firstly, there’s no requirement for a job offer. Then, the education requirement is less onerous. You can be graduating from a college program, or a number of approved diploma programs.
“The catch with Quebec is you need to be studying in French, or you need to be in an English program and successfully complete a separate stream of French courses.
“For an international student who does not speak French, the option is to enrol in a full-time course of study and parallel to that enrol in government-approved French courses. By passing those courses, you would be exempt from the French language test, for which the standard is higher at advanced-intermediate. A number of our clients are following this path.
“Quebec also has the biggest quota for permanent residence under its programs. If you are an international student considering your options for Canada permanent residence, it is certainly worth considering Quebec.”
