How to read the result
- For a program, IRCC retains the lowest of your four skills. A CLB 9 in listening does not offset a CLB 6 in speaking.
- Thresholds are those of the equivalency chart published by IRCC; they can change, the official page prevails.
- This calculator does not replace your results statement: it tells you what your scores are worth, not what you will get.
