Are you looking to immigrate to Canada? There are many educational and professional opportunities available and the standard of living is very high among westernized countries. Most Canadians speak English and a great number of individuals speak French as well.
Have you already taken a language ability test for English or French with good results? Immigrating to Canada through the Express Entry System could be an ideal option for you.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is accepted by the IRCC (government department of, "Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) as evidence of English-language proficiency. You'll be required to present your test result as a part of your application.
The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is also accepted by the IRCC as evidence of English-language proficiency. You'll be required to present your test result as a part of your application.
The TEF (Test d'Evaluation du Français) is an assessment of proficiency in the French language, used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to assign points for the language factor when applying for citizenship.
For adult and prospective immigrants who are seeking to live and work in this beautiful country, the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) is the national standard of English for the four areas of second language ability - listening, reading, writing and speaking.
There are 12 CLBs that cover the range from the most basic English proficiency (CLB 1) to complete fluency in English (CLB 12).
In French, the Canadian government classifies language ability with levels known as a Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC).
IRCC will only process applications based on the CLB or NCLC.
In order to determine your CLB from your IELTS, CELPIP or TEF test scores, you can use our IELTS, CELPIP and TEF calculator (at the top of this page). It will help to convert any of your test results to CLB.
Our calculator will assist you in converting your test results using the language test equivalency charts provided by the IRCC.
Our calculator can convert test scores in one to four abilities (listening, reading, writing and speaking) into their corresponding CLB(s) or in any combination between the tests. You can choose the test type in the first box (top), then enter your corresponding 4 scores for each language ability for that test to the right of that box.
You can also convert CLBs into FSW for CRS Points. *Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) & Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). There are 2 CRS point situations, the first is without a spouse and the second is with a spouse.
Take the General IELTS exam and not the academic one.
The CELPIP tests are only available in the following Canadian cities: Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto, Canada.
Yes, it applies to all applicants, even people who were born and raised in English speaking countries. Submit the results of your IELTS exam with your application.
That is no longer possible. Your application won't be processed without submission of your exam results. An IELTS, CELPIP or a TEF test will do.
Since you have French speaking ability, you can take the Test D’Evaluation de Francais (TEF) that is conducted in many places.
Submit your results for the reading, listening, writing and speaking tests. You can skip the grammar and structure tests, they are not required.
Or, you can take it as part of the listening and reading portion of the TEF.
The maximum score is 28 points for English and French proficiency.
Your maximum score is 4points for CLB 5 and above.

My Visa Source made the process of my partner’s PR a breeze. We did run into an issue in the beginning as my partner initially started his PR progress with the intent of going through his work to get his PR. There were some difficulties that ended up leading us into doing his PR through common-law sponsorship, which ended up being a blessing in disguise as we were appointed a new Lawyer & team.
Harley Jensen was very much on top of everything from quick replies to our emails and if we ran into any difficulties she would always set up a phone call to ease us through the process. There was another lovely lawyer by the name Natasha who was also helping us through some difficulties.
Overall My Visa Source made us feel confident and at ease during this very stressful process. We would like to thank the team for all their hard work. I would definitely recommend them.

Sharing my experience with MVS. This firm has truly reliable and dependable professionals, no wonder it has won so many awards and accolades. After my initial spouse work permit rejection, I approached MVS and I was assured they’d handle my case sensitively. Bara was very calm and informative, he initiated my process. My wife’s permit case was assigned to Sharon and Marc. ‘Sharon’ is very knowledgeable and precise, she was always reachable and was prompt on her responses during the process. Her follow ups on every step was phenomenal. Such a gem! I blindly recommend her.
Marc on the other hand was the heart of the process, shout out to him as well..
All my stress was washed out as every actions performed by them was promising. I was optimistic and finally received the permits, now I can reunite with my family in coming days.
Couldn’t praise enough. Wish you best to unite and bring happiness to more families like ours.
I wish to personally meet you all one day to thank for what you’ve done. You’ve changed my life.

I've had a very bad experience with an immigration lawyer at another firm in the past, and I was very scare to experience that again. I found My Visa Source online and decided to give them a try because of their great reviews, and I don't regret it for a second!. Amazing experience, they really treated me like a human being and were very upfront and organized with all information.
Angel Pavlou is really an angel, very sweet and helpful, she help us a lot on our first stage of the process with the firm. She is an amazing human being!
Because we were applying through common-in-law sponsorship, my team was Harley and Natasha, an amazing team! We worked for about 4-5 month on the file to make sure everything needed was there. And even though they usually respond within 2-3 business days, by the last portion before submission, our emails were responded by the minute, which we really appreciate as it helped to speed up the process significantly.
Even though our contract with the firm ended with the submission of our application, they left the door open for further questions we may have about what's coming next with our application, which is a big support for us, and we really appreciate (as now we have a long road ahead before a final answer from IRCC comes).
Thanks Team! :)

At first I was a bit wary because we had some challenges with our spousal sponsorship case and all correspondence was done over the phone or email, but now that my husband has been approved, I can say with confidence I would hire My Visa Source again for any immigration needs. My husband was not even asked for an interview in the end. This firm works many different nationalities and passport holders and there experience is vast.

After previously going to another immigration service it became glaringly obvious how great this service was. Angel was able to answer all my questions and share with me some options that I had not been told of by the other lawyer. I highly recommend this service.

This was a free consult call. I received the call exactly at the time arranged. Irfhan was very helpful, honest and informative. Unfortunately there weren’t many options for my case and he made no false promises. His integrity was impeccable and even though there wasn’t much that could be done he did offer some great suggestions and advice.
