Русский ¿Cuál es el puntaje IELTS que se necesita para inmigrar a Canadá?
23 de julio del 2018 – El examen IELTS es una parte obligatoria del proceso de inmigración a Canadá. El puntaje de la prueba necesaria para la inmigración a Canadá depende del programa bajo el cual el candidato hace su solicitud.
Un punto de partida es entender cómo se otorgan los puntos en relación con las habilidades de idioma.
Todos los programas exigen una puntuación mínima para calificar y algunos otorgan puntos adicionales a los candidatos con un nivel elevado de idioma.
Por ejemplo, las profesiones médicas requieren una puntuación de 7 de la escala de referencia lingüística canadiense (CLB, por sus siglas en inglés).

Para algunos programas de inmigración provinciales cuyo objetivo son las ocupaciones prioritarias, los puntajes requeridos pueden ser tan bajos como CLB 4.
Es importante tener en cuenta que los candidatos con un alto nivel de francés puede que no necesiten inglés y viceversa.
Los programas generalmente exigen dominio de uno los idiomas oficiales de Canadá. Dominio significa habilidades intermedias en la combinación de lectura, escritura, comprensión y expresión oral.
Sin embargo, bajo el sistema de Entrada Rápida se otorgan puntos a los candidatos por el dominio del primer y segundo idiomas oficiales.
Si domina ambos idiomas obtendrá más puntos de Entrada Rápida, pero esto no es un requisito.
Muchos de los programas de inmigración de Canadá fuera de Quebec tienen un procesamiento prioritario para los candidatos de habla francesa.
El país está invirtiendo millones de dólares en la cantidad de inmigrantes francófonos que acoge.
¿Qué es IELTS?
IELTS – El Sistema Internacional de Evaluación del Idioma Inglés – es el examen de idioma inglés más popular del mundo.
Califica a un candidato en cuatro disciplinas: lectura, escritura, comprensión y expresión oral.
Los resultados de la prueba IELTS corresponden a un puntaje de la escala de referencia lingüística canadiense.
IELTS es una de las dos pruebas aceptadas por Inmigración, Refugiados y Ciudadanía de Canadá (IRCC) para el dominio del idioma inglés.
El otro es el Programa del Índice de Competencia del Idioma Inglés Canadiense (CELPIP, por sus siglas en inglés).
¿Cuáles son los puntos de Entrada rápida para los idiomas?
- Puntos de Entrada Rápida por el primer idioma oficial
Puntuación del examen Con conyugue Soltero CLB 4 (L4.5, R3.5, W4, S4) o 5 (R4, 5 en todas las demás) 6 6 CLB 6 (5 en lectura, 5.5 in en todas los demás) 8 9 CLB 7 (6 en las cuatro habilidades) 16 17 CLB 8 (7.5 en comprensión auditiva, 6.5 en todas las demás) 22 23 CLB 9 (8 en comprensión auditiva, 7 en todas las demás) 29 31 CLB ≥ 10 (L8.5, R8, W7.5, S7.5) 32 34
- Puntos de Entrada Rápida por el segundo idioma oficial
Puntuación del examen Con conyugue Soltero CLB 5 o 6 1 1 CLB 7 o 8 3 3 CLB ≥ 9 6 6
- Combinación de puntos adicionales por alto nivel de idioma francés
Puntuación del examen Con conyugue Soltero CLB 7 en francés y CLB 4 o menos para inglés 15 15 CLB 7 en francés y CLB 5 o más para inglés 30 30
- Consejo importante
Independientemente de los requisitos mínimos de idioma para calificar, los programas de inmigración en Canadá se están moviendo hacia un sistema de expresión de interés. El sistema de Entrada Rápida federal funciona de esta manera. Las provincias de Saskatchewan y Quebec han introducido recientemente sistemas similares bajo sus propios programas de inmigración provinciales.Los sistemas de gestión de expresión de interés, operan con sorteos periódicos y cada sorteo va dirigido a un pool de candidatos diferente con calificaciones diferentes para cada sorteo. A medida que cambia la composición del pool, cambian los requisitos para cada sorteo.Por lo tanto, es importante que todos los candidatos que tengan la intención de aplicar para inmigrar a Canadá se esfuercen para obtener la mayor puntuación posible en los idiomas. Esto aumentará su clasificación general y sus posibilidades de inmigrar a Canadá.

El acceso a un sistema educativo de gran prestigio canadiense es solo el comienzo, ya que algunas de las mejores facultades y universidades de América del Norte están reclutando activamente estudiantes extranjeros.
Después de la graduación, el Permiso de Trabajo Post-Graduación de Canadá les permite a los estudiantes comenzar sus carreras aquí. Los cambios recientes en el sistema de selección Entrada Rápida significan que es más fácil para los estudiantes internacionales hacer la transición a la residencia permanente.
¿Calificas para estudiar en Canadá? Responda nuestro Cuestionario Gratuito sobre Estudio
También hay múltiples corrientes provinciales de inmigración dirigidos específicamente a estudiantes internacionales.
Si estudiar en el extranjero es su plan, Canadá debería estar encabezando su lista. Lea a continuación una guía paso a paso para solicitar un Permiso de Estudio Canadiense.
Paso 1: Comprender los requisitos
Lograr ingresar a una institución educativa canadiense requiere una comprensión de los diferentes requisitos de las escuelas y los cursos que ofrecen. Los candidatos también deben realizar un análisis cuidadoso de las reglas y regulaciones aplicables al proceso de solicitud de permiso de estudio. Solo las escuelas reconocidas y los períodos de estudio aprobados serán significativos.
Idealmente, debe comenzar a planificar su permiso de estudio canadiense con al menos un año de anticipación. Los requisitos comunes para todas las universidades e instituciones incluyen un pasaporte actualizado, dominio del idioma inglés o francés junto con la prueba de aprobación de exámenes de idiomas prescritos con calificaciones / escalas mínimas y una prueba de que puede financiar su estudio y el costo de la vida en el país.
Por supuesto, los requisitos pueden variar entre las provincias, por lo que este paso debe realizarse de una manera cuidadosa y sistemática.

Top Reasons for Study Permit Refusals
Paso 2: Decida su Curso e Institución
El primer paso para elegir una institución es determinar su condición como Instituto de Aprendizaje Designado. Solo los DLI (por sus siglas en inglés) pueden admitir estudiantes extranjeros.
Se le pedirá escoja un curso principal específico cuando solicite estudiar en Canadá. La configuración académica canadiense es flexible con respecto al cambio de cursos, aunque es mejor comparar sus opciones de antemano y elegir uno principal que realmente esté interesado en obtener.
Paso 3: Realice el Examen de Conocimiento de Idioma
Para conseguir entrar a Canadá, todos los estudiantes internacionales deberán demostrar sus habilidades en inglés o francés. IELTS es el examen preferente para el dominio del inglés, y algunas instituciones también aceptan el examen Cambridge English: Advanced o examen TOEFL.
Para el francés, usted puede optar por DALF, DELF o TCF, aunque el examen de TEF es la opción más común.
Elija la prueba, pague la tarifa y reserve sus fechas con anticipación. Por supuesto, tendrá que mejorar sus habilidades lingüísticas para asegurarse de que su aplicación no sea rechazada.
Paso 4: Postúlese a las Universidades
Ahora es el momento de contactar a su lista de universidades, obtener sus paquetes de solicitud y enviarlos con anticipación. Tener la opción de solicitar una docena de universidades puede ser ventajoso, pero tendrá que considerar la tarifa de solicitud, que varía entre $ 100 y $ 250.
No aplique al azar. Compare sus opciones, identifique su curso e institución preferida, y seleccione una o dos alternativas como apoyo.
Tenga cuidado al completar el formulario de solicitud y asegúrese de proporcionar información precisa respaldada con evidencia documental. Una vez hecho esto, es hora de enfrentar la insoportable espera hasta que reciba su aceptación. Una vez que confirme su interés, la universidad enviará una carta de aceptación, que juega un papel importante en los trámites futuros.
Paso 5: Solicite un Permiso de Estudio
Ahora que tiene una institución lista para admitirlo, es hora de solicitar el Permiso de Estudio de Canadá. Puede presentar su solicitud en línea o visitar su centro de solicitud de visa local. Su solicitud debe ir acompañada de la carta de aceptación recibida en el paso anterior, su pasaporte y una prueba documental de que tiene las finanzas adecuadas para estudiar en Canadá.
Si ha presentado una solicitud en una institución de la provincia de Quebec, recibirá, junto con la carta de aceptación, un ‘Certificado de Aceptación de Quebec’ (CAQ, por sus siglas en francés). Asegúrese de incluir este documento en su solicitud de permiso de estudio.
Paso 6: Momento del Viaje
Una vez que la solicitud ha sido procesada y se ha realizado una entrevista, si es necesario, el oficial de inmigración decidirá sobre su solicitud de permiso de estudio. Si es aceptado, es hora de comenzar a planificar su viaje a Canadá.
Su permiso tendrá una fecha de inicio, que es la fecha a partir de la cual el permiso entra en vigencia. Tenga en cuenta que no se le permitirá ingresar a Canadá antes de esta fecha. Planifique su viaje acorde.
Paso 7: Tiempo de estudio
El oficial de inmigración verificará su permiso y otros documentos en el puerto de entrada antes de permitirle ingresar a Canadá. Este es el paso final de los trámites de inmigración y ahora puede enfocarse en comenzar su viaje como estudiante internacional en Canadá.

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.”
