Hi Dear All,

I have a question with regards to the CLB points system, so to put it through let me first give you details about my IELTS scores

I have the following IELTS General Scores -
Listening 5.5
Reading 4.5
Writing 6
Speaking 6

After conversion to CLB, I get the below CLB scores -
Listening 6
Reading 5
Writing 7
Speaking 7

So my question here is that, with the above scores should my CLB score be the average of the 4 scores? (i.e 6+5+7+7 / 4 = 6)
Or would it still be considered as CLB 5.

Please give me reply who knows proper guidance

No, CRS score for language do not average, e.g. (without spouse case) "5 in writing and listening and 7 in speaking and reading" give 6+6+16+16 instead of 8+8+8+8 (which would be if all was averaged)

No, for both questions. Those scores are specific to each category. Minimum CLB in each section is 6 if you are planning to apply via FSW. Maybe this requirement is same for other streams as well, check if applying via a different stream.

For CRS this gives 46 points w/o spouse, and 49 with spouse (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html).

However, as noted above, you do NOT qualify for neither Federal Skilled Worker nor Canadian Experience Class (both require ALL language abilities to be CLB 7 or higher).
