What is the CLB? The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) — and their French equivalent, the NCLC — are Canada's national scale for describing English and French ability. IRCC converts approved test results into CLB/NCLC levels. Different programs need different levels; for example, citizenship applicants aged 18–54 generally need CLB/NCLC 4 in speaking and listening.
We offer exam preparation; we are not an official test centre. We are a language school, not an immigration adviser, and cannot advise on your application. Use IRCC's official resources or an authorized representative.
