Mistakes Canada test-takers often make
Targeting overall band, not the lowest skill
Express Entry uses your lowest CLB across all four skills. A strong average won't help if one skill lags — lift your weakest skill first.
Taking Academic when General Training is required
Most economic immigration uses IELTS General Training, while study usually needs Academic. Confirm which version your pathway requires before booking.
Underestimating the CLB jump to 9
Moving from CLB 7 to CLB 9 can add significant CRS points but needs near-band-8 performance — plan focused practice for it.
Ignoring the French points bonus
Strong French can add CRS points on top of English and open French-focused draws — many English-first applicants overlook it.
