IELTS - what band is required for me?

[Jacenty]

Hello
I have recently received my IELTS test results.
I have done general training IELTS test and I was looking online what band/results I need to have in order to receive express entry. I am civil engineer and possibly I will be looking for job in civil engineering sector (construction).
I really don't know where I can find what requirements I need... Only information I have found is the one about university requirements...
Additionally - does somebody know if employer will ask for IELTS test results as well after receiving visa?

Google "Express Entry eligibility" and there you will find the requirements and how to apply with IELTs and education assessments. If you have PR, employers will assume you have the skills to speak English.

Hey
Thank you for that! It helped me a lot!
So now different question - what is my skill level type is 0 or A but I will apply for B? will that prevent me to do skill level A jobs? Is it visable?

Ok nvm - I think if one of my results are 5.5 I need to re-sit the test anyway...

It doesn't matter as long as you have one year continuous work experience you may be eligible. Your employment letter must match the NOC. Once you are PR, you can work in whatever job or NOC you want.

That score is too low to be eligible. You need 6 in every band, and even more to have a higher CRS score.

Hmm is it too low to be eligble for level skill A or 0 but not for level skill B is that right? overall I have 7... just one is 5.5 ;(

Doesn't matter what NOC. Express Entry for NOC A, B or 0 requires 6 in all bands.

1, For PR you need IELTs General Minimum of 6 in each module to qualify.
2. You really should read the instructions here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry.html
3. Even if you qualify, to Emigrate, you probably not be able to work as a registered Nurse in Canada. You will have to jump through a number of "hoops" and as most nurses in the UK and Ireland don't take all the required modules that the Canadian nurses do, you will probably have to take additional courses in Canada and practicums before being licensed.
