Question about FSW points

Dear forum memeber,

I plan on applying for FSW because I have job offer and positive LMO.

I know that I will get 10 points for the Job offer. In the section for "adaptability" you can claim up to 5 points if your spouse have good IELTS, you have relatives in Canada or you have job offer. Because I have valid job offer, does it mean that I will get this 5 points also. (I don't have relatives in Canda and my spouse wasn't able to get her IELTS on time).

If the above is true that will mean that I will get points for the job offer in two categories therefore cumulative of 15 points?

Please anyone with information, coz I really need those 5 points.

Yes you get 10 points purely for having a job offer, and an additional 5 points in adaptability for a job offer, 15 total (although adaptability has a max score of 10 points).

Yes I am absolutely sure.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-employment.asp
= 10 points for arranged employment with a Canadian employer

AND
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-adaptability.asp
= 5 points in adaptability for arranged employment with a Canadian employer

As I said the only proviso is that adaptability points cannot exceed 10.
For example, if your spouse has max language level, and you have arranged employment, and you have a relative in Canada - although each of these earns 5 points you would still only score 10 in adaptability, not 15.

I guess they change it :(

Now it says

Arranged Employment in Canada
You earned points under Factor 5: Arranged Employment.


Does this means that now I wont earn 5 points for Arranged Employment in the section for Adaptability because I already earned 10 points in the section 5 for Arranged Employment?

Please help
