Trying to immigrate to Canada but want to avoid taking a language test? Immigrating to Canada without a language test is rare but possible! In most cases, when immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker like through Express Entry, you are required to prove your language proficiency by taking an approved language test. There are 3 approved language tests within Canadian immigration which include:

Job offer

The most effective way to immigrate to Canada without taking a language test is to obtain a Canadian job offer. If you have a job offer you just need to prove that your level of language is sufficient to fulfill your job duties. Some jobs don’t require fluency in the language!

Family Sponsorship

When being sponsored by a relative through Family Sponsorship to live in Canada, you don’t need a language test. If a qualifying relative is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, age 18 or over, they can sponsor you to become Canadian permanent residents. If you become a permanent resident, you can live, study and work in Canada.

Provincial Nominee Program

Provincial Nominee Programs aren’t a solution to avoiding a language test but there are some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) that have lower language proficiency requirements if you have a certain work experience in the in-demand occupation in a particular province or a valid job offer from an employer from that province. Most of the Canadian provinces are willing to grant provincial nominations to candidates who have worked for a certain time within the province or have a job offer from that province. The provincial nomination is practically a pathway to obtaining permanent resident status in Canada.

If you are immigrating as an investor, there may be options available that don’t require a language test so it’s important to speak with an immigration professional.

Language Courses

Another effective method of immigration to Canada without taking the language test is by enrolling in language courses with subsequent enrollment to a full-time study program which will allow the applicant to receive a work permit for up to three years. This time is enough to complete your immigration and obtain Canadian permanent residency.

Second time working with Visaplace, and was successful again with a visa application for parents (2 out of 2). Worked with Felicita and Mansi, strong guidance, very detailed approach to putting together a very thorough and comprehensive application. Good feedback and support throughout the full process. Highly recommend Visaplace!

We are incredibly grateful to Attorney Felicita and her outstanding team for their exceptional legal support. Thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and efficiency, we were able to secure two work visas and a visitor visa for our family members — all within a remarkably short period of time.

Attorney Felicita’s leadership, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of immigration law made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The team was responsive, thorough, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for us.

We highly recommend Attorney Felicita and her team to anyone in need of skilled and reliable legal representation. Their dedication and results speak for themselves.

Thank you 🙏
