IELTS Score and points calculation for express entry

[oasis.gc1]

Hi,

Please help me.

When I look at the matrix given for calculating IELTS score, I can see that someone who gets band 7 gets an average of 16 points for each skills, so overall the primary applicant gets 64 points in the Core Human Factors section.

But, when I use the CRS calculator that is given on CIC website and record band 7 for each proficiency, it gives me 96 points. I am really confused as this is the game changer for me.

Thanks in advance

There is a difference between Band 7 on IELTS and CLB Level 7.

Check this conversion calculator to understand this further (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp).

In the CIC calculator, you are asked to choose the Language test that you've taken before its asks to input the score. If you've done IELTS then choose IELTS when asked and input the band scores as they appear on your TRF.

You mentioned the funding wrong.

Update that.

Check if you are scoring more than 67 points out of 100 on these factors. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

 

[niravk]

Check if you met the FSW criteria of 67 points...

Your work experience is just around 1 year...?? Possibly this could be a reason.

Hello,

Try to put the money as CAD $12000 or $12050.

And can you elaborate a bit on your work experience.

Is it full time? And what are exact number of months you work as of now which can be counted under experience.

Further is this post BE work experience?

Also what's your WES evaluation?

Dont know about this. Please let me know.

 

[karenn1617]

Buddy tell me one thing have you evaluated your BE first so as to proof per Canadian equivalents.

Check the link for reference http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

 

[Asivad Anac]

You are most likely ineligible because you haven't done ECA for your Bachelors degree. Start here http://www.wes.org/ca/immigrants/index.asp

Also check your points on the FSW scale as I mentioned earlier.

All the Best!
