Immigration Conditions in Canada: Requirements for English Ability from Various Policies

1. Requirements of Canadian immigration policy for English proficiency of applicants.

CLB(CanadianLanguageBenchmarks), the full name of which is Canadian language benchmarks, is a standard used by Canadian Immigration Bureau to describe, evaluate and certify the English level of adult immigrants or prospective immigrants who live or work in Canada and whose English is not their mother tongue. Since English and French are the official languages of Canada, immigration conditions will be divided into the first language and the second language. Applicants can use English and French with good grades and high scores as their first languages.

English Conditions of Canadian Federal Skilled Immigrants

Federal technical migration in Canada is an immigration policy introduced by the Canadian government according to the situation of its labor market, occupational demand and the overall development plan of the country, aiming at making up for the slow population growth and talent shortage in Canada. Therefore, for the English requirements of the applicant, the main applicant should reach the level of CLB7 in English (IELTS class 4 6) or NCLC7 in French. If you want to get extra points in the second language, the minimum requirements for the second language are English CLB5 and French NCLC5.

English conditions for Canadian employers to sponsor immigrants

Canadian employer-sponsored immigration is an immigration policy introduced by the Canadian government according to the needs and shortcomings of the local labor market, aiming at balancing the labor force to achieve comprehensive and balanced development of the country. Therefore, the English requirements for candidates are moderate, and work experience and occupation are more critical. However, the applicant still needs to provide the results within two years to prove that his English or French has reached at least CLB4 level.

English conditions for Canadian investment immigrants

Canadian investment immigration is an immigration policy introduced by the Canadian government to attract foreign investment and business talents. Therefore, the English requirements for applicants are the lowest, and the financial strength and business background of applicants are more important. Take investment immigrants from Quebec, Canada as an example, there is no restriction on the language ability of applicants, that is, overseas high-net-worth individuals who can't speak English can also apply.
