Canada PR with 5 Bands IELTS

Yes, it's possible to achieve Canadian Permanent Residency with just 5 bands in IELTS! Through strategic Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) and targeted immigration pathways, we help candidates with lower IELTS scores realize their Canadian dream.

How It Works

While Express Entry typically requires higher IELTS scores (CLB 7 or above), several Provincial Nominee Programs offer pathways for candidates with IELTS 5 bands (CLB 5). These programs are designed to address specific provincial labor market needs.
