If you want to qualify for Express Entry, then you must first qualify for one of the economic programs such as Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Federal Skilled Trades Program (. Your language score must meet the threshold of any of those programs you are trying to qualify for.
CEC has two thresholds: CLB7 for skill types 0 and A. CLB6 for skill type B.
FSWP’s threshold is CLB7
FSTP under CLB: L: 5, R: 3.5, W: 4, S: 5
CLB Chart – Equivalencies between the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLBs) (for English), the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (for French), and the results of language tests from designated testing organizations have been established and are summarized in the following tables.

What is the clb? I’m Relatively older and will get demerits for age do i wanted to boost clb through perfect or near perfect language tests if that makes any material difference to obtain points for immigration purposes. I’m not looking at making minimum requirements which I have obviously met. I’m looking at optimal clb for maximum number of immigration points to make up for other factors like no job and over 45.
Any guidance is appreciated. I dont know if I should sit again
If you have a company, message us to let you know how you that can help to increase your CLB points.
