Many people want to become permanent residents of Canada, and there are many ways to do that. Depending on your situation, you might need a different score for Express Entry or other immigration programs. Most of these require a minimum language test score or give points based on your results.
If you haven't started the process, it can be confusing to know what score you need. Generally, a higher score is better. But if you have a specific goal, knowing the exact score can help you save time and effort by focusing your preparation.
EE is most popular stream and depending on you score from all CELPIP parts (Listening, Reading, Writing & Speaking) you will get Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) point for each category separately according to table below (as for July 2024).

There is a big difference in the points you can get as the main applicant versus as a spouse on the language test.
The main applicant can earn up to 128 CRS points, while a spouse can contribute a maximum of 20 CRS points.
It's also worth noting that the point increases in CELPIP-G are not as significant at lower levels (up to level 6) compared to higher levels.
Improving from level 3 to 7 usually takes much more time than improving from level 3 to 5 or 6.
The leap between higher levels, such as from 7 to 8, requires more time and dedication than moving from 3 to 4.
Of course, this depends on individual capabilities and background.
Knowing what to expect on the test can significantly improve your results. Even if you are proficient in English, not preparing and understanding what test-takers expect can lead to lower scores than you could achieve with some preparation.
