IRCC does not have a preferred test. So, this means you can choose what test you want to take. And which test is more convenient for you. IELTS has been testing English language for over 25 years. And, we test more than 3 million test takers each year. As the most respected English test in the world, IELTS offers more free practice tests and support material than any other test. It’s designed to help you succeed. IELTS is available at 50 test centres in Australia, IELTS is the English language test that supports your Australian study, migration and career goals.

Regardless of which test you take, you results must be from within the last two years (24 months) to be valid. So, when you submit your application for permanent residence your test results must be from within 24 months. If you results have expired, you should retake the test. Otherwise, your application will be rejected as incomplete or may be refused.

The IELTS General Training is the best IELTS exam to get Canadian PR. For example, for Canada’s Skilled immigrants (Express Entry), you must prove your language skills by taking an approved language test.

IELTS: International English Language Testing System

That’s a very difficult question to answer. Most Canadian economic immigration programs have minimum language requirements. But, not all of these programs are the same. As a result, the score you need depends on the migration program you apply for.

However, for many programs you need a number of points. Similar to Australia’s points system, you can get points for things like age, work experience, and education. In addition, you can get points for language proficiency.
