Are you targeting Canada’s Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)?
Language scores play a decisive role in determining your eligibility and competitiveness. Whether you’re applying as a skilled worker or an international graduate, strong IELTS scores can significantly boost your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points and your overall immigration profile.
