Score from language tests: Canada Immigration



Using your language test results to calculate achievable points:

For Immigration to Canada a point system persists which requires scoring of certain points to be eligible for further processing. That is why it is important to calculate ones score prior to submitting the documents for Canada immigration process.
Language skills occupies a handsome amount of points. It is important for the person who have shortage of points and willing to immigrate to Canada. They can target a score which will allow them to achieve the required pass mark.
Canadian immigration system recommends  International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) for English language and  Test d’évaluation de français (TEF) for French language.
I have put the test scoring and calculation of scored number for IELTS, CELPIP and TEF in the following sections (as in CIC website).


To Calculate your score, add your points as follows: 
Total of speaking + listening + reading + writing = Score (both languages)
