No she is not required to take IELTS

So she can go with me without taking test ?
If she opted for exam and get some good marks then is it going to add some extra benefit in my Visa processing (Immigration plan ) ?
I heard of some additional points but not sure how is it going to help in my immigration plan .

I am quite new to IELTS subject so posting some silly clarification . Please help me to get this clarity .

What are you applying for? Express Entry immigration?

Since you're the main applicant, only you'll need to take IELTS

You can get additional points if she scores over certain marks - but it's not mandatory that she takes it

Yes , i am applying for Express Entry Immigration . Is there any specific IELTS rule for spouse in case of Express Entry Immigration ?
