Hi All,
My British friend wants to apply for federal Skilled Worker. My question is, Is he suppose to write the IELTS or they are waved from the language , since he is British,

Thanks waiting for your ideas.

NO. He is not required to take IELTS.

Are you sure about that? I have seen US/Australian applicants taking IELTS, so not sure why Brits won't have to do that. Any idea how will they claim language points if they are indeed exempt from IELTS? Is there any official source that you can link me to, stating that certain nationalities are not required to take IELTS?

It doesn't matter what citizenship you hold or what your native tongue is, IELTS is mandatory.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp#eg72b

Minimum Language Requirement

You must identify in your application which language – English or French – will be your first official language in Canada.

You must meet minimum language levels and include results of a language test from an agency designated by CIC in that language when you apply.

Note. If you do not submit the results of your official language proficiency test indicating that you meet the required proficiency level with your application to the CIO, your application will not be processed and will be returned to you as incomplete.
