Canada Immigration without IELTS

Language proficiency tests are one of the important factors while immigrating to Canada.  You get points based on factors like work experience, age, education and language proficiency while immigrating to Canada via any of the points-based system. Under the Express Entry program, you can get a maximum of 28 points if you have a language proficiency score equivalent to CLB 7.

You can also apply for the CELPIP or PTE core tests while applying for Canada Permanent Residency or citizenship applications. The Express Entry system is now accepting PTE core test results for English language proficiency results.
