IELTS stands for the International English Language Testing System, a standardized English proficiency test for non-native speakers. IELTS is widely accepted across universities, employers and immigration authorities worldwide, in assessing a person’s ability to listen, read, write and speak English.
For Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) applications, the minimum IELTS level required varies significantly by immigration program, as scores are converted to Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). While many economic programs, such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, typically require a minimum of CLB 7 across all four abilities, which translates to an IELTS score of 6.0 in Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, other streams, like some under the Federal Skilled Trades Program, may accept a minimum of CLB 4 (equivalent to IELTS 4.5 Listening, 3.5 Reading, 4.0 Writing, and 4.0 Speaking). It is crucial to confirm the specific language requirements for your chosen immigration program, as these can differ, and it’s also important to note that the language requirements for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) are distinct from those for Permanent Residency.
