The FSTP Language Requirements will enable you to communicate and work in English or French helping to ease your integration into the Canadian job market.

FSTP Language Requirements

You must prove your ability in English or French in these four areas:

• listening,
• speaking,
• reading, and
• writing.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) uses the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) and the Niveau de Compétence Linguistique Canadien (NCLB). These are the nationally-accepted levels that measure how well an adult who learned English or French as a second language can communicate in that language.

You must meet the minimum level of CLB 5 for speaking and listening, and CLB 4 for reading and writing.

You must take a language test from an agency approved by CIC and include the results when you apply. If you do not, CIC will not process your application and it will return your fees.

Language test results must not be more than two years old when CIC receives your application.
