Language Testing
There are only 3 language tests that are recognized by CIC as providing conclusive proof of language abilities for scoring points in an immigration application:
1) English - IELTS: International English Language Testing System and CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program
2) French - TEF: Test d’Evaluation de Français
Your score in any of these tests will be conclusive evidence of your language abilities. However, what if you can not take one of these tests because they are not offered in your country, or for some other reason?
You can take another language test (such TOEFL) which will help provide evidence of your language abilities. However, CIC is not obliged to take the results of a non-recognized test as conclusive proof of your language abilities. In other words, CIC may request further evidence of your language abilities if you submit TOEFL or other non-recognized test results. Still, such results are often better than no test results at all.

Hi Gianpolo,
Thanks for your answer. I actually took the TOEFL and I did really well. I also have worked in Canada for one year in the Federal Government in Ottawa. Do you think that I still should take the IELTS exam as a proof of my English skills?
Thanks
Yes, you should take the IELTS if you can. CIC is very reluctant to give full language marks without it, no matter what other evidence you have.
