IO & English Language Assessment (IELTS V.S CLB)

[amrcom]

Sorry to repeat the question!

How does the IO assess the IELTS scores as follows?

R/W/S = 8
L = 7


Do you think s/he has the authority to grant 2 extra points?! As per Canadian Language Benchmark CLB
According to OP 6 , I don't think so! But have you seen any cases like this?!

The Visa Officer can NOT reassess language points upward.
From the FSW manual.

"10.11. Integrity concerns on language proficiency during an interview
The interview is NOT intended to be a means of evaluating language proficiency. Officers
CANNOT change language point awards or make new language point assessments themselves
based on what they have discovered at interview. However, if an applicant is interviewed for any
other reason and significant discrepancies become evident between claimed and actual language
proficiency, there may be an integrity issue.
