Hi All! I have been trying to find the information reading through the forums but hoping someone can help me specifically please!
My husband and I are applying for Express Entry. We just got our IELTS results back and I thought they were great and would push us over the 440 CRS mark but on the calculator I am only getting 428. Is there possibly something I am missing to increase my points?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
IELTS scores:
Mine - L: 9, S: 8.5, R: 8.5, W: 7 = 8.5band
Husband - L: 8.5, S: 8, R: 7.5, W: 7 = 8band
How many points could we increase this by if score increased? (Calculator estimates only increase by 3 points if I max average them.)
Core/Human capital factors
- Age = 90
- Level of education = 112
- Study in Canada = undefined
- Official Languages = 125
- First Official Language = 125
- Second Official Language = 0
- Canadian work experience = 0
Subtotal - Core/Human capital factors = 327
Subtotal - Spouse factors = 26
Subtotal Skill transferability factors = 75
Grand total = 428
The only additional points I see on the calculator aren't really feasible for us but would be interested to know if they are the only ways we can go forward?
Provincial nomination = 0
Job offer = 0
Study in Canada = 0
Sibling in Canada = 0
French-language skills = 0
Thanks in advance!
