The interesting thing is that when it comes to Canadian Immigration, there is no pass or fail in IELTS.

The reason why people do it many times is to gain more points and increase their score.

CLB 7 is good for some, some need CLB 10... depending on other things in your profile.
The immigration system is point-based.

6 selection factors of language test, education level, work experience, age, having Canadian job offer, or having adaptability factors (i.e relative in Canada) are used

The more you have, the more your points (except for age when over 29) Image
As little as extra 0.5 in Listening, if you have 7.5 in Listening, and 7 in others can be the game-changer for you

The above is CLB 8 already, but if the listening alone moves to 8.0, that takes you CLB 9.

And guess what, that can give you over 50 additional immigration points.
This is what IELTS to Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) conversion looks like.

The highest CLB is 10. And with a high CLB, you get more immigration points.

This is why we advise people to aim for CLB 9 at least. Not because they failed, but because that gives them more points. Image

15 things to do as a new international student in Canada.

You can now arrive in Canada if your school is on the list here bit.ly/listofschoolswโ€ฆ

Asides from having the ArriveCAN, Visa, all docs, and your quarantine plan, this is a list of things to do as a new student.

Thread
1) Obtain your study permit

This is inevitable but many new students do not know. What most (if not all) foreign students have from their country is a temporary resident visa. Study permit is issued upon arrival

Put your documents in your hand luggage to avoid unnecessary delay
2) Obtain your Social Insurance Number

If the condition of your study permit allows you to work in Canada, you need to get your S.I.N. You may be able to get one at the airport upon arrival (ask there)

If not, check bit.ly/applyforSIN for how to apply at Service Canada.

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.
