The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) standard is a descriptive scale of language ability in English as a Second Language (ESL) written as 12 benchmarks or reference points along a continuum from basic to advanced. The CLB standard reflects the progression of the knowledge and skills that underlie basic. (You can find more information about English proficiency levels in a detailed comparison of CLB levels with CEFR levels, TOEFL, TOEIC and Cambridge ESOL) The language tests based on CLB benchmarks cover four skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing.
You must prove your language skills by taking an approved language test. To do this:
You must:
- schedule your test with an agency approved by IRCC and pay the costs
- enter the test results into your Express Entry profile (and the Personal Information Number, if the system asks for it)
- include the results with your application if you are invited to apply. If you don’t include it, we will not process your application.
