Nope; its 67 for all; no exceptions, no discounts, no bargains - all are equal in eyes of CIC

Hi Boltz,

Even i show good amount of proof of funds, 19 years experience each for self and spouse, and all the documents including the certificates received through the previous employers in english, will all these not be considered.

Pls. reply

Renny, 67 points is min eligibility.  And post this eligibility is when all the other documents are looked at.

But I donot want to disappoint you - *** however I would ask you to reconfirm with other seniors of forum *** - somebody once mentioned with 66 points it could go to Immig Officer's discretion to look into other aspects. am not 100% sure though on this.

Secondly, with your profile, why dont you recheck your points?
ielts band 9 should fetch you 16 points
your experience should fetch you 21 points
not sure about your age and education and your spouse's education

Also another option - you can certainly explore - checking if your spouse could get 67 points and you be a secondary applicant/dependent.  well it means she might have to take IELTS, but thats not the need for the day. she could take it before submitting full docs to CHC.

hope it helps.

cheers boltz.

Hi Boltz,

I got 20 for education, 10 for age, 21 for experience, 4 for spouse education, and 9 points for IELTS.
 6 Listening, 4.5 Readin 6.5 Writing, 6 Speaking overall 6 band scores. so total 64 points.
