English for Express Entry
Your language score is one of the biggest parts of your CRS score, and one of the few you can still change quickly.
Where are you now?
Pick the option that fits.
I need to qualify
Reach CLB 7, the minimum for the Federal Skilled Worker Program and for Canadian Experience Class candidates in TEER 0 and 1 jobs.
See the 8-week CLB 7 program →Target CLB 9I qualify. I want more points
Go from CLB 7 to CLB 9 in all four skills for the biggest jump in language points.
See the 6-week CLB 9 program →Why CLB 9 matters
For a single applicant, CLB 9 in all four skills is worth 124 core CRS points for your first language. At CLB 7 it is 68.
That is 56 more points before counting the extra skill transferability points CLB 9 unlocks with your education and work experience.
Points shown are for an applicant without a spouse or partner. Always check the current CRS criteria on the IRCC website.
Good to know
- Accepted English tests: CELPIP General, IELTS General Training and PTE Core.
- Your results must be less than 2 years old when you create your profile and when you apply.
- Points are counted skill by skill, so your lowest skill often costs you the most.
