See point 2 highlighted in red.

Language Requirement

1. 1. All applicants 18-54 years of age MUST submit proof that demonstrates adequate knowledge of English or French (even if your first language is English or French). If you are 18-54 years of age and unable to demonstrate that you have the necessary English or French language ability due to a medical condition, this requirement may be waived. You must submit supporting evidence with your application.
      
      If you do not have proof of language proficiency or the language level needed, you can take a government-funded language program to help you improve your language skills to get a certificate at a level of CLB/NCLC 4.
      
      Canadian Language Benchmark/Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens level 4 is considered “Basic Proficiency” and means an individual can:
      • take part in short, everyday conversations about common topics
      • understand simple instructions, questions and directions
      • use basic grammar, including simple structures and tenses and show that you know enough common words and phrases to answer questions and express yourself
      Choose one of the following types of language proof to submit with your application:
      1. Results from a third-party language test
         
         Your language test result must be equal to the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB/NCLC)/Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens level 4 or higher in speaking and listening. If you did the test in the past for immigration or citizenship purposes, we will accept the results even if it has expired.
         
         Examples of third-party tests include:
         • Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program General Test (CELPIP-G) or the CELPIP-General LS (listening and speaking).
           • If you took the test after April 1, 2014, you must have a score of level 4 or higher in listening and speaking.
           • If you took the test before April 1, 2014, you must have a score of 2H or higher (i.e., 3L, 3H, 4L, 4H, 5L, or 5H) in listening and speaking.
         • International English Language Testing System (IELTS), general training, not the academic version You must have a score of:
           • 4.0 or higher in speaking and
           • 4.5 or higher in listening. (Note: If the test was done before November 28, 2008, we will accept a level 4 or higher)
         • Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF), Test d’Évaluation du Français adapté au Québec (TEFAQ) or TEF pour la naturalisation.
           • If you took the test after July 1st, 2012, you must have a score of:
             • Niveau B1 or higher, (i.e. B2, C1 or C2) in Compréhension de l’oral and Expression orale

             • Niveau 3 or higher in Compréhension de l’oral and Expression orale. (Note: if you took the Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF) before July 1st, 2012, you need a level 3 for expression orale only. This applies only to the TEF and not the TEFAQ or TEF pour la naturalisation.
           We will accept the following proof if you have submitted them in the past for immigration purposes to Quebec (note: these tests align with the échelle québécoise and not officially with CLB/NCLC 4):
           • Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF) – All test results
           • Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF) – Level B1 or higher
           • Test de connaissance du français(TCF) – Niveau B1 or higher

You can always take the CELPIP test again. I know it sucks as it cost money again but in the end it is worth it.
