• To convert your IELTS band scores to CLB levels, you can use the language test equivalency chart provided by the Government of Canada or the online calculator provided by the British Council. For example, if you have a band score of 6.5 in listening, 7.0 in reading, 6.0 in writing, and 6.5 in speaking, your CLB levels would be 8, 9, 7, and 8 respectively.
• Your CLB levels are important for your Canadian immigration application, as they determine your eligibility and points for various immigration programs, such as Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, and others. You should check the language requirements and the points system for the program you are applying for.
How to apply for a student visa in Canada with your IELTS score

• Choose a designated learning institution (DLI) that accepts your IELTS score and offers the program you want to study.
• Get an acceptance letter from the DLI that confirms your admission and enrollment in the program. You will need this letter to apply for your student visa.
• Create an online account on the Government of Canada website and fill out the application form for a study permit. You will need to provide your personal details, your education history, your IELTS score, your financial information, and other relevant documents. You will also need to pay the application fee online.
