Hi there,

I've been going through the CRS Scoring, and have a question. Under Section C (Skill Transferability), do I max out the 50 points if :

1. I have a CLB 9 on all four first language abilities (IELTS scores of 9,9,9,8.5)
2. I have a B.A, an LL.B and an MBA. The B.A, LL.B was a combined five year program from a good law school (India, top 5 law school), and the MBA is from the US.

I have an ECA for my MBA, but I didn't get it done for my undergrad degrees (B.A, LL.B), cause I assumed that only my highest degree counted.

So - should I get an ECA for all my degrees? Will that help me max out the 50 points?

Here's my total points breakdown in case that helps.


CRS

A.

Age: 80
Education: 126
Language: 128

B.

Spouse Education: 10
Language: 20

C.
Education - Either 25 or 50, depending on how my question gets answered
Foreign Work Ex: 50

---
So I'm adding up to either 464 or 439, which is a significant difference.
My wife has it even better - she adds up to 459/484 depending on whether she gets the 25 points (she has the exact same qualifications and scores as I do, but she's 5 years younger so gets 20 points more for age)

Thanks for any help.

Hey thanks for that link. It's really helpful and I see that I get the full 50.

Quick question - is it possible for both my wife and I to apply separately as principal applicants, with each other listed as the spouse?

Or can only one partner apply and the other one has to be included.
