Which IELTS test to practice
For Canadian work permits, practice IELTS General Training. It is the IELTS option Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) asks for with the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). If you apply for a PGWP, you must prove your English or French, unless you graduated from a PGWP-eligible flight school. For an employer-specific work permit, you must include proof that you meet the requirements of the job. Employers can list English or French as a job requirement in a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application and job advertisement.
The score to aim for
For the PGWP, you need Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in all 4 skills if you graduated from a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree or any other university program. If you graduated from a college, polytechnic or other non-university program, you need CLB 5 in all 4 skills. On IELTS General Training, CLB 7 is 6.0 in each skill. CLB 5 is Listening 5.0, Reading 4.0, Writing 5.0 and Speaking 5.0.
Before you book the real test
Take the test in person. Your results must be less than 2 years old when you submit your PGWP application. Check before you book: Post-graduation work permit: Get the right documents.
