IELTS Score - very confused!!

[ivaldiz]

Hi,

So i'm applying for the Canadian citizenship application, I have done the IELTS awhile back and I passed it..
My wife has done it recently and she got 4.0 in Listening and 4.5 in speaking, according to the canadian immigration website it says she must get a minimum of 4.5 in listening and 4.0 in speaking..

My question is, i'm applying as a family.. Does she have to do the IELTS exam ?.. and if she does, should i sent her score and hope they will accept 4.0 instead of 4.5 in listening ?.. or should I ask her to take the exam again ?..

Is there any other options?, she also took LINC classes back in 2012 but she didn't complete the course, she also work a full time job currently.. I heard from people that she can get a letter of employment and that should cover as a proof of language?..

Can somebody please advice me ?, should I talk to a layer or consultant about this ?

Many Thanks,
M

Try CLPIP it is a Canadian language test and accepted by CiC ..my wife did it a passed it easily ..it is easier than IELTS...there is a test every week Friday and Saturday all across canada ...

Thank you very much, I will do the registration now.. and its only 1 hour test, which is easier than IELTS

Thanks again for your help

I agree. Don't take any chances with CIC. Send the correct documents to avoid delays later.

As stated before, CELPIP Test is indeed relative easier than other major tests. There are two options with CELPIP, and you should opt for the L-S CELPIP which covers listening and speaking skills only. Most people tend to do very well on that one.

I actually wasn't aware of such an option, I thought they only required IELTS or LINC
Thanks again guys for suggesting such a solution, appreciate the help! ;D
