Change to Language Requirements for Permanent Residence Applications

For permanent residence applications received on or after April 10, 2010, visa officers will only be required to consider the evidence of language proficiency provided at the time of application. If the applicant chooses to provide other written evidence of language proficiency, the proof submitted must clearly demonstrate that they meet the language proficiency claimed for Federal Skilled Workers or required for the Canada Experience Class. If the evidence provided is not sufficient, FSW applicants will only be awarded the number of points demonstrated by the material submitted, and CEC applicants may have their applications refused if the minimum requirement has not been demonstrated.

Don’t let your Canadian permanent residence application be refused because of the language requirement.  Contact one of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers at the Bomza Law Group today!
