Those seeking Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) in 2025 must demonstrate proficiency and familiarity with English. Among IELTS, PTE, and TOEFL, the latter three are the most frequently used. While all of these assess your proficiency in English, their formats, levels, and acceptance for PR may vary, so it’s up to you which one. 

Understanding Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) 

Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) are used by Canada’s immigration system to measure English proficiency. Each immigration scheme has a minimum CLB requirement, which is determined by specific scores on accepted English tests. Many skilled worker programs mandate a minimum of CLB 7 (equivalent to IELTS 6.0 in each section for Express Entry).
