Communicating for real life context.

- Now, IELTS has two categories –

- Purposes of giving IELTS –
Higher Education
Work Purposes
Migration – IELTS is accepted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK for migration as a proof of efficiency in English language for both study and work.
If you are applying for a work visa, professional recognition or for permanent residency in Canada, it is likely that you will be required to present evidence of English language proficiency. IELTS General Training is the only internationally available English proficiency test accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for immigration to Canada. To gain a Canadian visa, you will need to demonstrate your English abilities to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
All universities and colleges in Canada accept IELTS, as well as all professional associations have set minimum language requirements for professional registration.
To be eligible for Express Entry, you must prove your English language ability:
• take a language test
• get the minimum results required by your program
• include the results when you complete your Express Entry profile
The language test evaluates these abilities:
• writing
• reading
• listening
• speaking
To measure your English, IELTS use Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) for English. The minimum level for all four abilities is CLB 7.
The skills you need will depend on the group your job is classified in under the National Occupational Classification System (NOC). The skill level for CLB 7 is NOC 0 or A and for CLB 5 is NOC B.
Your test results must be less than two years old when you submit your application for permanent residence. If you’ve been invited to apply for permanent residence, check that your language test results will still be valid when you plan to apply.
You can take any of these approved language tests: English
CELPIP – Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program
(you must take the CELPIP-General test since they don’t accept the General-LS test for Express Entry.)
IELTS – International English Language Testing System
(you must take the General Training option, they don’t accept the Academic option for Express Entry)
- If you haven’t been invited to apply for permanent residence
You may want to make sure your results are valid for the rest of the time you’ll be in the pool.
If your results will expire before you can apply, you should:
• be tested again or
• apply before your test results expire or
• decline the invitation and go back into the pool to be considered in the future
- Individual organisations have different requirements. Make sure you check which IELTS test the organisation you are applying to recognises.
I hope this solved your quries, feel free to comment if you have any other doubts.
Good Luck !
