After IELTS whats the next step?

[Renjish]

Hi,
I have done my IELTS and I got an overall band of 7.L8,S7,R6 and W6.5.Mine and my spouse WES evaluation has been completed.Is it mandatory for my spouse to write IELTS?Without her IELTS I am getting a total points of 69 wheras 67 points is the requirement.Anyone can explain how does it works and what is the next step after WES evaluation and IELTS?

Your spouse doesn't have to take the IETLS unless you wish to claim CRS points for it.

You can create your profile once you receive your ECA.

Thanks a lot for the clarification.After this roughly how long it takes for the entire process?

Hard to say as I do not know how competitive your CRS is.

329 is very low. The chance to get direct ita is negligible. Try to improve it to 400 atleast.

Resit ielts and Aim fo. L 8, S,R,W 7

Well done with your IELTS! Are those your band score targets? If you can retake IELTS and reach higher scores or have your spouse sit (for a low target score), your points will be increased.
