Hi All,

I am a Computer Engineer and have more than 5 years of experience in Software Development.I intend to apply for Canada Express Entry Visa.I have obtained following IELTS Scores -

Reading - 6
Speaking - 6.5
Writing - 7
Listening - 8

Overall score - 7

I expected a higher score, especially in Reading :(.
Is this score sufficient to go ahead with the Express Entry process or would it be better to take the test again?

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks.

Doc's Request.
sent with the application
IELTS Request
sent with the application
PLEASE ADVISE.

I`ve submitted my FSW application on November 30th, 2014. I realized later that I might be short in one point from the passing score which means I have 66 points and not 67 points and that is due to the IELTS results.
I got the following results:
Speaking- 8.5
Writing- 7.5
Reading- 7
Listening- 6.5
Overall Score-7.5

I intend to improve my score by taking the IELTS again soon. My question is will I be able to resubmit the application again given the fact that the CAP is not full and 2014 was the last year that the CIC accepts applications for the FSW program?. Please advise.
Two days ago they have charged my credit card for the processing fees.

Thank you

If you submitted your application while having only 66 points - your application will be refused 100% and you cannot submit a new IELTS for that application

What's your purpose of going to Canada?

You may apply to be a tourist and you can find the requirements on CIC's official website.

Most schools will NOT accept someone who scored a "5"
