exactly true and can never really understand why anyone would just want to scrape through on IELTS to emigrate to an English speaking country unless really desparate. Yes its hard but it will be even harder if cannot read,speak,write,listen in English as there will not be much sympathy anywhere when applying for that good paying job.LokiJr01 said:I was referring to the threadstarter's IELTS results....and IELTS score of 4 and 5 is pretty low. I understand the background but you're migrating to an English speaking country and struggling on language proficiency will make life in Canada difficult. It's absolutely necessary to be better at that...it's gonna be difficult but you need to do this to survive.
We need to think long term. Yes, you can get away with the low IELTS score using a different visa option outside of Express Entry, but after that, you will still need to be good at the language to get a good paying job
From another angle also think about those people coming from English speaking countries such as UK,NZ and Australia who also have to do IELTS having used English since birth . IELTS can even be hard for them but they still have to do it and pass with a good average .Maybe easier to achieve but if someone has not taken tests/ exams for years the pressure still on them to get a pass mark and IELTS is not very forgiving as many people on forum will attest to regardless of where they are from.
