If you're writing IELTS to come to Canada as a permanent resident, you will do the General Training test

Try to also work towards CLB 9 & above (in IELTS this is at least Listening - 8, others 7)

CLB means Canadian Language Benchmark, and that's what your IELTS is converted to.
This is what the IELTS to Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) conversion looks like for Canadian immigration

The highest CLB you can get is 10. And the higher your CLB the higher your overall point (when added to your age, work experience, education, etc)

I wish you all the best!
