Aug. 26, 2013 - Minor updates to the official language proficiency tables on the Federal Skilled Workers page
Minor updates to the official language proficiency tables on the Federal Skilled Workers page within the new Language Requirements section have been published. The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) corresponding to High, Moderate and Basic language proficiency levels have been added to the table. This change makes the table more useful to officers in equating language proficiency levels to benchmark levels and test scores for the purpose of awarding points.
