IELTS, CELPIP & PTE Core to CLB Converter

This converter turns IELTS, CELPIP and PTE Core scores into Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels using IRCC's official equivalency charts from canada.ca — the same tables Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada applies when it assesses your Express Entry profile. Pick your test, enter your four ability scores, and you get an instant per-skill CLB plus your governing level, all calculated in your browser with nothing sent to a server.

CLB conversion is threshold-based and works skill by skill, which is why an "overall band" is never enough. On IELTS General Training, 6.0 in every ability equals CLB 7, while CLB 9 needs Listening 8.0 and 7.0 in the other three. CELPIP-General levels map one-to-one to CLB. PTE Core — accepted by IRCC since January 2024 — uses its own cut-offs on the 10–90 scale, such as Listening 82, Reading 78, Writing 88 and Speaking 84 for CLB 9.

The result panel also tells you what your level actually unlocks: CLB 7 in all four abilities is the Federal Skilled Worker minimum, while CLB 9 or higher puts you in the top CRS band for first-official-language points. Because program minimums must be met in every ability, the tool highlights your lowest skill as the governing CLB — usually the one worth retesting — and links straight to the CRS calculator so you can see the points impact.
