Latest Changes in IELTS score for Canadian Immigration

Canada is very keen to welcome immigrants from all over the world. Canadian government also knows about the difficulties of future applicants which they are facing due to a high IELTS band requirement for additional points of Canadian Immigration.

Due to these difficulties faced by the majority of the people over the world, Canadian government has very kindly reduced the IELTS score requirement for Canadian Immigration Points. CIC has now decrease the IELTS band requirement criteria for Canada Skilled worker Immigration points.

Congratulations to all!!!

Canada has reduced minimum IELTS score requirement for 4 points of Immigration


As CIC has decreased the minimum IELTS band score from 7 band to 6.5 band to obtain four points for Immigrate to Canada in Skilled Worker Category. Now you can obtain 4 points for one module of IELTS if you score 6.5 band as compared to old system which required at lease 7 Band in IELTS to obtain four points in a specific module of IELTS. Only listening module gained the IELST score instead of reduction. i.e. 7.5, which was 7 previously.
Now you can get 16 points for immigration by having the following minimum band in IELTS
Writing: 6.5 Band
Reading: 6.5 Band
Speaking: 6.5 Band
Listening: 7.5 Band

Following table give the full details:
Enjoy your Canadian Immigration.

One thing to remember that that the correct ancronym of International Language Testing System is IELTS but sometimes people mispell it ielets, ilts, iltes, ilets, elts, eilts, iltis or ielst. So please remember the correct acncronym i.e. IELTS

Hi
I was just going through the blogs and thought that it would be helpful
get reply to some of my queries.
I have recently sent my application form along with other required form
to the CIC NS,Sydney.
From my calculation I found both of me and my wife are qualified by assigning
11/10 to our English language proficiency.
I appeared at the TOEFLibt in December 06, 2008 and received a score of 99 (R-28, W-24, L-24, S-23);
whereas, my wife sat for academic IELTS and scored (R-8, W-6.5, S-7.5, L-7.5)
I have sent copies of both of our score reports along with application package.

Moreover, I have completed my masters in Bioinformatics from UK in the year
2004.
Do I have to sit for the IELTS, or my scores and academic backgrounds would be sufficient
to avoid the test.
Looking forward to your generous reply.

In case I "fail" and get a lower score, can I use the previous IELTS or it has to be the latest?
By the way, is there any chance to claim the L:7.5 with work experience, if you hold 7?
Thanks for your help!

Dear,
If your previous IELTS is not 1 year old than you can claim points for previous IELTS.

2. There is no chance to claim 7.5. In my opinion try again for IELTS under british council

Hi,
I am a resident of UAE. I had applied for Canadian Immigration in September 2009 under the “Fast Track Immigration Program” through a Consultant.
However, when I did not receive my file number even after lapse of more than 4 months I contacted CHC, London (where my application and government fee was supposed to be submitted as per the application signed by me). CHC London replied back that they never received my application or the government fee which I had given to my Consultant.
According to my Consultant, of recent all the applications from all over the world for Federal skilled workers class are being submitted to Novascotia, Canada. Due to this centralization, file numbers are being issued with delay.
Please advise in the above situation, what should be my next course of action, in particular when I have done my part by getting the desired level of ielts score in January 2010.

Dear All,

I need to ask a Question. Me and My wife are planning to immigrate to canada! We have 65 points without ielts test. Like if we add ielts 16 points which is maximum that will come 81 as total. My question is We need to have minimum points Like we already have 65 points without test According to new point system Even if we go for basic points which is 1 for all then it will be 4 together which will make our points 69. Is it like so or what soever even if we are having 65 score without Ielts text we have to score atleast moderate which is 2 points for all the section making altogether 8. Hope you understand my point or is there any chance they will exempt our Ielts test? As My Wife is Masters having 7 yr experience and i am 4 year professional bachelor degree holder.

Hi,

Me and my wife are planning to immigrate to canada! We are getting 65 points without ielts test!! DO we need to have minimum 2 points to get 67 passing marks in ielts? or it can be exempted or we need lower basic points for ielts because our score is higher without Ielts??
If i ad 4 points of ielts it becomes 69 which is the minimum possible points and if 8 then it becomes 73 for 16 points our score becomes 81.
Can someone guide me that Ielts is for your ability test but in my case i need less score so we ned to give our test for just to fullfil the criteria?

my problem is that i'm to apply for immigration as a nurse, but might be required to do additional schooling at Canada should i be allowed to immigrate.is there any way that my academic ielts score be considered?

also sir, is the ielts an absolute requirement during application or is it something that they require if they "feel that you need to prove your english proficiency more"?

i took the academic ielts because it was a requirement for my US application and am hoping i wont have to spend for another ielts!!

Dear Mubashir,

No one is clear about the matter of points for B.E., or B.Tech thats 16 years education, some one earlier told 22 points, someone says 20 points, but its preferable to consider 20 points for the safe side i think.

hello...
i would like to know whether the ielts test score of: 6.5 in listening, 6.5 in reading; 7.5 in writing and 6.0 in speaking, with a 6.5 Overall band score would qualify me for Canadian immigration. Is there a required ielts score for immigration in canada?

raj said...

Dear Tony,

As per ur IELTS, you get
L=2,R=4,W=4,S=2, so totalling 12 points in ur IELTS, now u need to have atleast 55 points from other areas , ur education, experience,spouse qualification, age, when u reach total points of 67 outof 100 you may qualify for CIC requirement.

...talking about "correct ancronym of International Language Testing System". It's time to correct your own mistakes right here:Only listening module gained the IELST score instead of reduction. i.e. 7.5, which was 7 previously.
:) :) :)

raj said...

Dear Tina,

your score in IETLS
L=7
R=6.5
S=6.5
W= 5
your CIC points
L=2,
R=4,
S=4,
W=1.

so ur total education points will be only 2+4+4+1=11 points.
thanks.

Hi,Pakistan friend,

its very easy to get 10 points in IELTS, you may aim moderate level in 3 modules (2+2+2), and high level on anyone module will give you 10 points easily,
