The International English Language Test System (IELTS) is an internationally recognized English language competence test that is used to determine whether or not an applicant is qualified to immigrate to a country that speaks English. This test, which assesses the candidate's English language competency, is administered by the Cambridge Assessment English, and IDP. IELTS uses a nine-band scale to assess competency, ranging from non-user (Band Score 1) to expert (Band Score 9).
The candidate's proficiency in the language is evaluated in four sections:
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. On the day of the exam, the Reading,
Listening, and Writing portions of the exam are completed without interruption.
The Speaking component can be completed up to a week before or after the other
assessments.
IELTS has two categories: academic and non-academic.
- Academic: It is taken by candidates who want to pursue
higher education or professional certification.
- General: Taken by applicants who are planning to immigrate
to Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia.
There are 4 categories under IELTS:
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
What are the minimum and maximum IELTS scores to apply for a Canada PR?
The Canada PR Visa is one of the greatest options to move to Canada.
Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses a system known as
the Canadian Language Benchmark to compare test scores under several language
examinations (CLB). To apply for Canada PR, qualifying for a minimum IELTS set
score is necessary. If an applicant achieves a score of 6 in each band on the
IELTS, they can apply to both the express entry pool and the PNP categories.
There are certain PNPs also have an IELTS criterion of fewer than 6 bands.
However, it is always advisable that candidates should aim for a score of
8,7,7,7 to enhance their total CRS score.
The best IELTS score necessary for permanent residence in Canada is a 10 band score or 32-34 CRS points. The required IELTS score for Canada PR is a 6 band, which qualifies you for PNPs. Immigrants who desire to come to Canada must score this much on their IELTS test to ensure their invitation.
Tips for ensure score
good in IELTS
- Listening: The first thing you should do in your exam checks to see if the headphones are working properly; if they aren't, you may ask them to fix the problem. Because the recordings are only played once, pay close attention to them. Also, for the solutions, try using capital letters.
- Reading: If you are unable to comprehend the questions, do not waste your time on them. Questions must be carefully understood, and students must concentrate on obtaining solutions from the passage itself.
- Writing: Try to answer the first task in 150 words, and the second task in 250 words. Make a list of all the exact and important responses. Only use an active voice when responding, and avoid extended paragraphs.
- Speaking: Slow and fluent speech is recommended. When
addressing the question, you must be confident. Long pauses should be avoided.
Focus on vocabulary and the breadth of tenses as well as sentence construction.
