No, both GRE and IELTS are not required to work in Canada. The intent of both exams are different. GRE is a standardized test for getting admission to MS or MBA programme abroad.

Yes, IELTS is required to work in Canada. IELTS General Training is the correct test type for immigration/work purposes.

With the recent changes, the score barrier has gone up and certain people find it difficult to achieve the same.
