  Is IELTS unavoidable to justify English language knowledge?

I was wondering why they require IELTS and not Toefl or Toeic, since IELTS is in British English and Canadians´ accent is more similar to American.
Is that because Canadians don´t like being called Americans?

My point is: the Listening part of the test is sometimes difficult to understand due to the British accent, for which I´m not used to. Any suggestions?

The CIC requires a proof of English language comprehension and IELTS is not mandatory.However they prefer IELTS.Still you can present your proof of English langauage in a way acceptable to them,like an essay.They may then call you for interview.

I don´t recommend that. If u r not native English u should go to IELTS listening is not that difficult the real difficult is reading when u have answer 40questions based on 3 storeis each about1.5 A4 pages with a lot of tricks u will run out of time and feel under pressureeeeeeeee. Determenation, concentration and self confidence are the keys. You are risking that CIC will return ur file again for IELTS.

Hi
I agree with Romantic Warrior it is crazy exam, but if you pass it you have good paper for CIC.
