new minimum for IELTS is 7 ??

[freedomseeker]

Hello,
From the last announcement

There are two new steps to the new selection system. First, applicants will have to demonstrate that they meet the minimum language threshold, which is level 7 of the Canadian Language Benchmark assessment system. Applicants will be able to get a language assessment from existing agencies designated by the Minister and listed on the CIC website.

Does it mean minimum is 7 band in IELTS or the Canadian Language Benchmark assessment system has different measures ??

looking for your replies plz

It's most likely the CLB. But I wouldn't surprised if IELTS would be right behind in having changes of their own.Nursing assessments in Canada requires one to have at least 7 to 7.5 in all categories for RNs and 8.5 in LPNs.

Insane.
