I'd read an article in an Chinese language newspaper in Canada, they written that "Chef and Cook require IELTS 7", why they have such quotation? Do anyone know the fact? Thank you!
Here is the newspaper:

I think they wanted to say you still have to reach the pass mark (67), so being on the list itself is not a guarantee and you would be expected to submit proof of English language i.e IELTS but I don't think there is a requirement of a specific score but to reach 67 you probably would need a score of 7 or close to 7 anyway.

There seems to be some confusion here, but the statement that cooks require an IELTS score of 7 is definitely wrong.
a) If applying under FSW as a cook, which is one of the eligible occupations, a score of 67 points is required.
b) If applying under CEC, since it is a job at Level B, an IELTS score of 5 in each ability will do.
Below is text copied from the CEC Instruction Guide
"If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A of NOC, you must meet a language requirement of benchmark:
7 or higher for each of the language abilities, or
6 for any one of the language abilities, 7 or higher for any other two of those abilities and 8 or higher for the remaining ability,
If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Level B of NOC, you must meet a language requirement of benchmark:
5 or higher for each of those abilities, or
4 for any one of those abilities, 5 or higher for any other two of those abilities and 6 or higher for the remaining ability,"

I also want to ask, if 0213 apply CEC, do it mean it should IELTS be 6.5 listen/6 speak/6 write/5.5 read, or, 5.5 listen or 5.0 read or 5.5 write or 5.5 speak and 2 of 6.5 listen/6 speak/6 write/5.5 read and one of 7.5 listen/6.5 read/6.5 write/6.5 speak?
