Listening 4.5 = CLB 4
Reading 4.5 = CLB 4
Writing 6.5 = CLB 8
Speaking 7.0 = CLB 8

According to the new IELTS rule, you would need to get a 5 in all four categories for NOC B positions. So your scores are ineligible at this point.

Yeah, sorry to give you the bad news! But you are only 0.5 points off so just do more online practices and you'll be fine! Good Luck to you!

Hello all,

I think to apply under CEC. My NOC code is 1221 (Skill level B)

IELTS:
S 5.0
R 5.5
W 6.0
L 6.5

Am I eligible? I think that I am, but I need someone's verification.

Thank you.

You forgot to include the categories. You should put down "Reading = " or "Listening = " next to its score.

Sorry Johnny overall band score is 7 not 8 I am still eligible for 0 or A?
the "band" score doesn't matter. you need to convert each of your 4 scores into CLB Levels and I did that and your scores are good enough. In order to qualify for Skill Level 0 and A positions, you need to have at least CLB 7 in all four categories. To reach CLB 7 for all four categories, you need to have at least a "6" as your score for all four categories. You had 6, 6, 7, 8 so you are okay. Understand?
