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.

Hi
What is the minimum score i required in celpip for FSW visa.
7 is minimum, but minimum is no longer enough to have a chance to be selected. You should be aiming for 9 in CELPIP and 7,7,7 and Listening 8 for IELTS.
My score is R-9, L- 9, W-6.5 and S-7.5
What would be my score
You have gained good score but your score of 6.5 in writing will have an impact on CLB score (if it was 7 you would have gained additional points in Express entry. if the score is CLB 7 you will get a max of 50 Bonus points on skill transferability and if your score is CLB 9 you would gain 100 points in skill transferability in Express entry. I need a suggestion from you on reading as how you were able to score 9. Thanks
8 in listening
and 7 in other 3 modules is a must
Please i need to know am willing to start my University study in Canada and i need to know if i can submit TEF instead of ILETS because am French educated.
