About CLB Levels

Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) are the national standards for describing and measuring English language proficiency in Canada. For French, the equivalent is NCLC (Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens).

CLB Scale

CLB levels range from 1 (basic) to 12 (advanced). Most immigration programs require CLB 7+ for skilled workers.

Express Entry

Your CLB levels directly impact your CRS score. Each CLB level above 7 adds significant bonus points.
