Language Ability
You must provide evidence of your ability to speak English or French, this is in a format of a test. The test will cover speaking, reading, listening and writing and it is designed to show that you meet the Canadian standard and the test has to be approved by the CIC (Citizenship Immigration Canada) we personally recommend IELTS as they are known worldwide. As a client you will enjoy privileged access to our in house IELTS tutors who will provide as much tuition as you need.
Education
You will need to provide evidence of your education such as a completed foreign credential and also an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from an agency approved by CIC (Citizen Immigration Canada). This report will show if your education is equal to a completed Canadian secondary or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree. We know this can sound daunting so as part of our Immigrate Canada package we take care of this for you.
