🎙 Worried your IELTS score might hold you back from working or immigrating to Canada?

In this episode, we explore whether a 4.5 IELTS score can still qualify you for a Canadian work permit—and what to do if you don't meet the typical language benchmarks. We also break down the Federal Court case Helmzadeh v. Canada, where a Start-up Visa applicant’s request for a substituted evaluation under IRPR 98.10 was denied—and what that means for assessing eligibility under Express Entry.

You’ll also learn:
✅ The minimum IELTS score required for Canadian visas
✅ Specific language requirements for the Start-up Visa
✅ How to demonstrate your economic potential beyond test scores
✅ Strategies to strengthen your application under Canada’s immigration rules
