IELTS to CLB

How the conversion works.

IRCC accepts IELTS General Training (not Academic) for permanent-residence programs. Each of the four abilities is converted to a CLB level separately.
IRCC does not average your bands. Your usable CLB for a program is the lowest of your four per-skill CLB levels, so a single weak skill sets the ceiling.
Federal Skilled Worker and the Canadian Experience Class (TEER 0/1) require CLB 7 in all four abilities. Express Entry rewards CLB 9 with substantially more CRS points. Some trades and college-level streams accept CLB 5.
No. It uses the published IRCC equivalency table and is for guidance only. Your official language level comes from your dated test report. Book a chance for a free consultation for a written review.
