- Canadian Experience Class language evidence
- Provincial Nominee Program streams that use Express Entry
Perché è importante pianificare il punteggio
Express Entry profiles fail language criteria when one skill sits below CLB 7 even if the other three look strong—or when applicants stop at CLB 7 while CRS cut-offs reward CLB 9. Booking the wrong variant (Academic IELTS or PTE Academic instead of Core) forces a full retake.
Soglie di punteggio
| Requirement | Minimum | Per-skill targets |
|---|---|---|
Express Entry — Federal Skilled Worker Per-skill minimums use your lowest CLB across required abilities unless noted. | CLB 7 | Listening 60+ Reading 60+ Writing 69+ Speaking 68+ |
Canadian Experience Class — TEER 0 or 1 Per-skill minimums use your lowest CLB across required abilities unless noted. | CLB 7 | Listening 60+ Reading 60+ Writing 69+ Speaking 68+ |
CRS competitiveness — CLB 9 language points | CLB 9 | Listening 82+ Reading 78+ Writing 88+ Speaking 84+ |
Canada pathways typically use your lowest CLB across all four skills unless a program specifies otherwise.
