English

Is there any option if English is your native language? Must you still take a test to prove it?

Yes you must take the test.

I'd also add that, even if English is your native language, you should study a little for the IELTS because it's a tough exam. You don't have time to do everything so you must learn how to do the test.

Thanks for the heads up - I was under the impression that there would have been an exemption for this sort of thing. I'll look into the tests.

 

[scylla]

No exemptions - mandatory for all.

Hey Guys,

I got my undergraduate degree from York University. When i do the eligibility test it ask me if i did IELTS or the other english test. I chose no and than system prompted I may not be eligible. I still went ahead and created my express entry profile.

I read this under canadian experience class eligibility section :

Education
There is no education requirement for Canadian Experience Class. But, if you want to earn points for your education under Express Entry, you either need:

a Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree, or



I am just wondering what did the graduates who are eligible doing about this?

Your question isn't clear. If you are asking if you must take a language test in order to qualify to apply under EE - the answer is yes. It doesn't matter if you are applying under CEC or FSW. Completing a language test is mandatory. You'd better hurry up and sign up since it may take a number of weeks to get a free spot.
