About the Canadian Language Benchmark Levels
The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) are the national standard used in Canada for describing and measuring how well second language adult immigrants can communicate in English or French. The CLB levels are used in educational, training, community and workplace settings.
The CLBs cover four skill areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The assessment uses real life language tasks to measure language skills.
