CLB 7 vs CLB 5 for PGWP language requirement — which one applies to my college diploma?

The language requirement only applies if your study permit was applied for on/after Nov 1, 2024 — if that's you, then university bachelor's/master's/doctoral AND college bachelor's programs need CLB/NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities, while most other college/non-university programs (a standard 2-year diploma included) only need CLB/NCLC 5. Keep your test results current — they need to be less than 2 years old when you apply. Guide: /guides/pr/language-tests has the CLB conversion tables. General information from my own experience, not legal advice — for anything specific to your file, a licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer can look at your actual documents.
