Should I retake the IELTS test or not? PLEASE HELP!!!

[Oel]

In order to apply under the CEC class, I went to see 3 immigration consultants and none of them was able to give me a clear answer on whether I should retake the IELTS test or not.

My IELTS score is L:5.5 R:6.5 W:5.5 S:4.5 ~ overall 5.5 and I gained my work experience in Canada in a NOC B job and from my understanding they could accept this results if the following statement is still valid.

If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Level B of NOC, your test results must match the CLB/NCLC below(see chart):
(a) ◦5 or higher for each of those abilities, or
(b) ◦4 for any one of those abilities, 5 or higher for any other two of those abilities and 6 or higher for the remaining ability.

Also, please note this statement remains only in the CEC guide ~ OP 25.

Does anyone know if the statement above is valid still?

I hope someone can help me.

Thank YOU very much!!!

As fas I am concerned about your information, you have to re-take IELTS test.

Since 02 Jan 2013, CEC language requirements is change.

If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Level B of NOC, your test results must match the CLB/NCLC below(see chart):
(a) ◦5 or higher for each of those abilities, or
(b) ◦4 for any one of those abilities, 5 or higher for any other two of those abilities and 6 or higher for the remaining ability.

There are two op25 docs - one is op25a I think. One is pre 02 01 13 and one is post. I think you are referring to the older one.
