Canada has two official languages. If you know both you get more points at the end of the day. You have to assess both languages - even though your English/French knowledge might be zero.

Thanks Sept. 15. Now I understand. So my second official language will be french which I don't know anything about french language, so I will get zero on my scond language. Since I am working in Hawaii for for 5 years already, I don't need to take IELTS, right? Thank you again

You do not need IELTS if 1) Your First Language is English 2) you went to a Canadian/American High School. If you were born in USA, studied in the USA and working in USA, I would assume that your first language is English.

Thanks

Thanks Sept. 15. I am working here in Hawaii for 5 years already so I don't need IELTS. May I ask you another question? My NOC code is 0621. My previous employment in the Philippines fall under NOC code6233 and 1225. Would I get a good score based on their assessment? Thanks

Pinoy - I do not want to comment on something that I do not know. My best solution would be to ask this question to Qorax. He will definately help you.
