Older Post for reference only:
As per older Criteria of Canadian Immigration, points for language are very critical for future immigrants whose first language is not English. The applicants have to indicate in the visa application about the first ideal language of communication i.e. English or French. For the English language, the government recommends the applicant take the IELTS test.
Immigration points are rewarded on the basis of the score obtained by the applicant in the language test. For IELTS test, the applicant is required to appear for the general module of the IELETS and have to score the needed band in all the four modules of the IELTS test (Reading Writing, Speaking and Listening).
If the score in the IELTS lies between band 7.0 and 9.0, then 4 points for immigration will be awarded for that module. It is essential to note that the Canadian immigration points are awarded for each individual module not just the overall band and then added up. If score is between 5.0 to 6.9 points, two points will be awarded for Canadian immigration. If IELTS score is less than band 5.0, no immigration points are awarded for that module.
For example, an applicant will get the following points for the IELTS scores
Reading:
7.5 Band = 4 immigration points
Writing:
6.5 Band = 2 immigration points
Speaking:
7.0 Band = 4 immigration points
Listening:
5.5 Band = 2 immigration points
So, in this case, the overall points obtained in IELTS for the immigration application will be 12 out of maximum of 16 points.
Note: The correct acronym of International English Language Testing System is IELTS but some applicants erroneously spell it ilts, ielt, or ielets.

S-7.5
I applied pre-June 28, 2010 for NOC 0213, my only concerns here is that L-7.0 is considered MODERATE and HIGH for all others: R,W,S. Do you think I should worry that Visa office will ask me to retake since my listening is not HIGH. Do you think NOC 0213 - IT Manager requires HIGH for all proficiencies? My total point is 70 including IELTS score 14.. Pls advise. Thanks EV

canada is not the only option after having high score in IELTS. you may consider going to US, NZ or UK because all they need is 7 in all bands. but if you really prefer going to canada, as long as you reached the minimum score, no worries coz you are still eligible for immigration. but let me remind you, immigration needs a General Training in IELTS.
