回复: 请问如何申请免考雅思呀?
Contrary to common belief, an applicant is not required to undertake the language test to prove his/her proficiency in the English language provided the applicant can produce alternate proof of proficiency in the language.
Regulation 79 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation provides that -
"Skilled workers must specify in their application for a permanent resident visa which of English or French is to be considered of their first official language in Canada and which is to be considered their second official language and must,
(a) Have their proficiency in those languages assessed by an organization or institute designated under this regulation or
(b) Provide other evidence in writing of their proficiency in those languages."
If the applicant is not claiming points for French language it is not necessary to take the French language test. Our firm has assisted many applicants in proceeding with their immigration applications without appearing for the IELTS test.
It should also be noted that the same regulation also provides that if the provided proof for language proficiency is not found to be satisfactory by the visa officer, the visa officer may ask the applicant to take the IELTS exam. If the applicant takes the test, it will remain a conclusive evidence of the applicant's level of proficiency in the English language and neither the applicant nor the visa officer will be able to dispute the results.
This regulation is beneficial to applicants who are proficient in the English language and who are likely to face little or no difficulty in obtaining the necessary immigration points. This regulation also puts to rest the discontent applicants felt (that resulted in many court cases, appeals and arguments) regarding visa officers being unfair in granting sufficient points in the language category of the application.
However, many applicants coming from Asian countries find the English language requirement very tough and they may not receive the necessary passing points due to lower proficiency in the language. Such applicants can look in to other options of immigrating to Canada - either by getting a HRDC approved job offer from an employer in Canada or under the Quebec immigration program. |
