Your application will be rejected if you apply with these scores. I'm speaking from experience.
Below is an extract of the rejection letter I received for my May 2013 application. I re-applied in September after retaking the exam.
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, applicants in the Canadian Experience Class are assessed on the basis of the pass/fail requirements set out in subsection R87.1(2). The assessment of these criteria determines whether you will be able to become economically established in Canada. All applicants must have:
- Maintained temporary resident status during their qualifying period of work experience, and provide documentation to establish they had legal temporary status in Canada,
- Acquired at least 12 months of full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in occupations that fall under Skill Type O, or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC),
- Obtained the required work experience within the 36 months preceding the date their application is received,
- The required level of English or French language proficiency (speaking, reading, listening, and writing) for their occupational skill level,
- Not engaged in work in Canada without authorization
- Not remained in Canada after the time authorized to do so has expired, and
- Not been found inadmissible to Canada on grounds such as health or security
The CELPIP test scores required to meet Canadian benchmark of 7 are as follows: 4L for Speaking, 4L for Listening, 4L for Reading, and 4L for Writing. Your CELPIP test results indicate you scored 3H for Speaking. Therefore, your language test results do not meet the required language proficiency for skill level A.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for any other document required by the Regulations. The visa or document may be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act (including requirements of the Regulations made under the Act).
Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.
The Right of Permanent Residence Fee that you have paid is refundable.
You will receive a refund of this fee from CIC within a few weeks.
Thank you for your interest in Canada.
