As far as I know, there are only 3 options for immigration to Canada:
1) Express Entry
2) Mon Projet (for Quebec)
3) Alberta PNP

Without CLB 7 in English or French, you don't qualify for 1 or 2. Alberta requires a job offer, or a temporary work permit.

I don't think there are any other alternatives.
 
My suggestion is, Try improving your language skills. Helps you in getting good score and once you are here in Canada it will help you communiate more confidently because many companies here look for your com skills.

Albert is only an option if:
1) you have an LMIA-supported job offer (almost impossible to get)
or
2) you have work experience in Alberta in Engineering or a trade (as you've suggested that band 6 in IELTS is not enough, you're clearly not a tradesperson)
or
3) you've graduated from a university in Alberta.

So if you're an engineer, you can get Alberta PN by first getting a temporary work permit.
Or you need to complete a degree or diploma in Alberta, and then get a Post Graduate Work Permit.


But it would be far easier and far simpler just to improve your English results.
 
I am banker I have experience in banking exceeds 10 years specialised in corporate finance and risk management, so it's only for Engineers ? I will keep searching for alternatives, my luck is bad at IELTS I did it twice , but still getting 6 ...
 
Why don't you try some tutoring in English, or a free online English language learning program? As everyone says, improving your English would be a huge benefit, it will help you get PR and it will help you establish a life in Canada.

I have lived in a country where my ability in their language was slightly better than your ability in English and it was a real struggle. Getting a job was almost impossible as you are competing with native and fluent speakers of the language, despite the fact that I have 15 years experience in a very unusual field which was desperately in demand. Having any kind of life was difficult too, same with settling in and making friends. It really does make sense to improve your English skills. As I said, could you try and find a private tutor?
 
1. You can try and improve your English. You're one CLB level below the requirement so getting upgraded should not be difficult. You can't just retake the test and hope you score higher.

2. With CLB 6, there might be other immigration programs you qualify for. There are provincial nomination programs that are outside express entry. Saskatchewan for example used to accept CLB 4 (i think) and Nova Scotia CLB 5 (not 100% sure). But i'm certain they accepted below CLB7.

Do some research in that area.
Best!

Hi Don't take me wrong on this but unfortunately, the issue is you think your control over english language is good. I can pin point multiple mistakes in your paragraph above.

First thing you need to do is to drop the idea you are good (which makes you cocky and resistant to further learning).

Than get some crash course from a nearby ESL center and brush up your mistakes and polish your vocabulary.

After that you can try IELTS or CELIP whichever suits you. (check the test papers and see for yourself)

I agree. Your English skills are quite weak and this won't position you to succeed in Canada (even if you can get here). You have very basic grammar errors that will make it difficult for you to find a job and struggle to make a life here. Rather than worrying about immigrating now - focus on improving your English first.
