Express Entry IELTS requirement query

[EkkoRanga]

Hi everyone,

My overall IELTS is 7.0
L - 6.5
R - 6.5
W - 6
S - 8
I was wondering if this score is good enough to apply for express entry under NOC-B, CEC category. What are my chances? Thank you.
PS: I used canada visa crs point calculator and I got a score of 456.

You need CLB 7 to be eligible. With 456 you are almost guaranteed to get an invitation in the next round.

If you take a look at the draws, you will find out the minimum scores have been around 440-445. So you're good

Thank you Sam and LAMAZ. Though, I was wondering how accurate is canada visa crs point calculator. Would I get the exact same score while creating my EE profile?

It is pretty accurate as long as you provided the correct answers. You can also use this calculator which is from CIC
