New IELTS Requirements for Applicants in Skilled Workers Class.
Every year Canada welcomes immigrants from all over the world. Canadian government knows about the difficulties of immigrants which they are facing due to a high IELTS band requirement for additional points of Canadian Immigration.

Keeping in view these difficulties faced by the potential immigrants, Canadian government has decided to reduced the IELTS score requirement for Canadian Immigration Points system. Immigration Canada has now decreased the IELTS band requirement criteria for Canada Skilled worker Immigration points. Minimum IELTS score requirement for 4 points of Immigration has now been reduced.

The minimum IELTS band score has been reduced from 7 band to 6.5 band to obtain four points for Immigrate to Canada in Skilled Worker class. Now applicants have to obtain 4 points for one module of IELTS if he/she score 6.5 band as compared to old system which required at lease 7 Band in IELTS to obtain four points in a specific module of IELTS. However, listening module gained the IELST score instead of reduction. i.e. 7.5, which was 7 previously. Now an applicant can get 16 points for immigration by having the following minimum band in IELTS
Writing: 6.5 Band
Reading: 6.5 Band
