Hi,
I appeared for IELTS 2 weeks back. I have more than 2&1/2 years of post PhD experience in Canada. I am still working here and will be continuing for one or two years. My test result is as follows:
Listening: 7.0;
Reading:6.0;
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 8.0

How many points I would get from IELTS? Is it 16 or 12? What's my CLB level? Is it 7? Is this good for applying for Canadian Experience Class category? I am planning to apply within two weeks.
Thanks in advance!
