Canada Language Score Calculator

Check your Canadian immigration language results with the Peerless Canada Language Score Calculator. Enter your scores from an approved test to see the equivalent Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) for English or Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadien (NCLC) for French. The tool also screens language thresholds for Express Entry programs.

FREE LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT

Calculate your CLB / NCLC level

Choose your test, enter all four results, and check program language requirements.

1 Select your approved language test

Only IRCC-approved versions of these tests are supported.

2 Enter your four test scores

Use your official score report. CLB/NCLC is calculated separately for each ability, not from an overall average.

3 Optional: second official language

The second test must be in a different official language from the first test.

4 Check your language eligibility
This assessment checks language requirements only. It does not confirm complete Express Entry eligibility, calculate your full CRS score, or guarantee an invitation.
Your Canada immigration language assessment
Preliminary language-only assessment. Other eligibility criteria include qualifying work experience, education, selection-factor points, admissibility and program-specific conditions. Confirm your results against IRCC requirements before applying.

How does the Canada language calculator work?

IRCC assesses each of the four language abilities separately. Your raw IELTS General, CELPIP General, PTE Core, TEF Canada or TCF Canada scores are converted to CLB (English) or NCLC (French). A high overall IELTS band cannot compensate for an ability that falls below the minimum required level.

Express Entry language requirements

ProgramLanguage minimum
Federal Skilled Worker ProgramCLB/NCLC 7 in all four abilities
Canadian Experience Class — TEER 0 or 1CLB/NCLC 7 in all four abilities
Canadian Experience Class — TEER 2 or 3CLB/NCLC 5 in all four abilities
Federal Skilled Trades ProgramCLB/NCLC 5 in listening and speaking; 4 in reading and writing

FSWP language selection points

For the Federal Skilled Worker Program's 67-point selection grid, a first official language can earn up to 24 points: four points per ability at CLB/NCLC 7, five at level 8, and six at level 9 or higher. A second official language can add 4 points if it reaches CLB/NCLC 5 in all four abilities. These are not CRS points.

Important information

  • Language results must be less than two years old when creating an Express Entry profile and submitting a permanent residence application.
  • For Express Entry, use IELTS General Training, CELPIP General, or PTE Core, not their academic equivalents.
  • For TEF Canada, enter the “Équivalence ancien score” values on your result statement, not the newer “Score / 699” values.
  • Test conversions and program rules can change. This calculator reflects IRCC guidance checked on 16 October 2026.
