CANADA EXPRESS ENTRY
Language is an essential part of any immigration process. It is necessary to be able to understand and speak the language of the destination of immigration, in this case: Canada. Being familiar with the language of the country not only helps in adjusting to the country, it also increases your chances to get the job you wish for.
Under the Official Languages Act of 1969, Canada has both English and French as its official languages. Most Canadian immigration programs have a minimum language requirement to be eligible for those programs. These requirements are stated in the form of Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLBs).
Canada accepts the following language tests,
English
CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program
IELTS: International English Language Testing System
French
TEF Canada: Test d’évaluation de français
TCF Canada: Test de connaissance du français
Equivalencies between the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLBs) (for English), the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (for French), and the results of language tests from designated testing organizations have been established and are summarized below.
Key: CLB Level = Canadian Level Benchmark Level; R = Reading; W = Writing; L = Listening; S = Speaking.
