The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the
standardized test that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) recognizes as proof of English language ability for immigration
purposes.
Some Canadian immigration applicants are required to take the IELTS to demonstrate that they have
sufficient English language ability to integrate into Canadian society and the Canadian work force.
Take this
opportunity to practice your English and familiarize yourself with the IELTS test. Canadavisa has 8 free IELTS practice
tests available - 2 Listening, 2 Reading, 2 Writing, and 2 Speaking. These tests were prepared by IELTS professionals and will
give you a good sense of what the IELTS test will be like. (Please Note: Due to the nature of the tests, only the Listening and
Reading tests can be automatically graded.)
The four sections of the IELTS (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) are measured on a Band Score system from 1-9.
To receive the maximum number of points for English language ability on a Federal Skilled Worker application, applicants
who are required to take the IELTS, must obtain a Band score of 7.5 or higher in the Listening component and a 6.5 or
higher in the other three components.
