IELTS is an international test recognized by many countries.

In this article, DOL will provide information about CLB IELTS to help people better understand this certificate!
1. What is a club?
CLB is an acronym for Canadian Language Benchmark. This is the system that assesses your English proficiency when you want to apply for immigration to Canada.
Similar to other specific tests, the IELTS club will also have its own standards to ensure that immigration applicants have the language ability to live in this country and integrate with the local people.
There are 3 test groups recognized by IRCC - Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, each test will be able to assess the candidate's language ability through 4 skills similar to an IELTS test. Usually listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Club is Canada's English language assessment system
IELTS is widely accepted and trusted by the Government of Canada as proof of English language proficiency. It is the first test to be recognized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Immigration Quebec for their immigration and citizenship programs, and is considered one of two tests. Check the appropriate club.
