Most people end up having to take the IELTS because if English is not your native language, even if you have studied in an English speaking country, they usually want proof of how good your English is. It is also better for your points. Since you get points for English, without the IELTS, you are guessing your points. If you have exactly 67 points, they make you take the IELTS and you end up with less points for English than you thought you would, then you will not have 67 anymore and will be rejected.

It will not help you getting PR if you have a tourist visa.

Great Thanks Leon.

Recently I have heard about.. the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
how this program is different from the normal PR processing.
Going thru this program provide me PR or just a temporary residentship .
which one is better option, if I would like to get the cheaper in terms of fee structure and i really wanna go for the better option.
Can any body suggest.

Other provinces also have their own provincial nominee programs. You can see them at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp and research each province. Most of them have a skilled worker class but you need a job offer from that province to apply. Alberta is unique in having an H1 program which is geared towards H1 visa holders in the US and you don't always need a job offer for that. A couple of provinces have family classes where you can be sponsored by a family member who lives in that province. Some have investor or business classes. A couple have low skill classes to allow low skill workers in certain occupations in that province to apply for residency. All the provinces offer you permanent residency in Canada under their programs.
