Immigrate to Canada Without IELTS
IELTS is hard for many people. The good news is Canada has paths that do not need it. You can use other tests. Or no test at all.
Use CELPIP instead
CELPIP is a Canadian English test. It is shorter and easier to book. Canada accepts it for PR, work, and most visas.
Use a French test
If you speak French, take TEF or TCF. French gives you up to 50 extra Express Entry points.
Visas with no test
Visit and family sponsor visas do not need IELTS. Some intra-company work permits also skip the test.
