Canadian Language Benchmarks measure English proficiency. CLB 7+ is required for most Express Entry programs. NCLC is the equivalent scale for French.
Your language test results must be less than 2 years old at the time of your Express Entry application or when you receive an ITA.
Higher CLB levels add significant CRS points. CLB 9+ in all four abilities of your first language can add up to 136 points to your score.
