Language Test and Documentation for Canadian Permanent Residence Application

April 30, 2021

On May 6, 2021, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada will begin accepting applications from workers and students in several categories for Canadian Permanent Residence.

Documentation needs to be gathered for the application. One of the requirements for the application, and most paths to Permanent Residence in Canada, is language proficiency. The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) are the national standards and include 12 levels of ability in the English language. Skills are evaluated in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

A test to prove these skills must be taken to submit with the rest of the documentation for the application. For essential workers, a Canadian Language Benchmark of 4 is required. For international graduates from a Canadian school, a benchmark of 5 is required.

A language test must be taken from an agency approved by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. The test cannot be more than 2 years old when the application is received. Pricing varies for a language test.

It is important to schedule and take the language test and get all other documentation required for the application for Permanent Residence in Canada.

First name So we know who we are speaking to, and so our reply reaches you by name. Email So we can reply. We will send one message to confirm the address is yours, and nothing else until you click it. Phone, with country code So we can reach you on WhatsApp if you would like us to — only if you choose it. We never cold-call. Country you live in now Canadian immigration is decided partly by where you are now, and it tells us which office and which timelines apply to you. Province or state Several provinces run their own programmes with their own, often easier, requirements. Telling us where you are is how we find the ones open to you. Nationality (your passport) Your passport decides visa requirements, processing times and some programme eligibility. It is the single fact that changes the most.

We never sell your details. We never cold-call. One email, then nothing until you click.

I agree that Polinsys may contact me about this enquiry.
