到年邊每個省都動向頻繁，2015年2月1日之後遞交的安省碩士類別申請的雅思要求從總分7改變到4個6，這並不是很大的改變。
Opportunities Ontario: Provincial Nominee Program has updated its minimum language requirements for International Students: Masters Graduate Stream for the 2015 nomination year.
Previously, applicants under the International Students: Masters Graduate Stream were required to demonstrate language proficiency in English with a minimum overall score of 7 or higher in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) General Test, or in French with a minimum overall score of 5 or higher in the Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF).
New Requirements
Effective February 1st, 2015 for the 2015 nomination year, International Masters Graduates will be required to demonstrate official language proficiency equivalent to the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 for each language competency (i.e. listening, reading, writing and speaking).
Applicants will be required to have the following minimum scores in each of the language competency:
- Listening: IELTS 6 or TEF 249-279
- Reading: IELTS 6 or TEF 207-232
- Writing: IELTS 6 or TEF 310-348
- Speaking: IELTS 6 or TEF 310-348
This new scoring methodology offers a fairer and more transparent process for applicants.
Note that IELTS or TEF tests will still need to be taken within 12 months of application submission.
