I have made my EE profile, and I wanted to know about the AINP eligibility, so I went to their website, and it says there that I must "meet the criteria of at least one of the federal immigration programs". So since according to my EE Profile I am eligible for the Federal Skilled workers Stream, I clicked on the link.

In the language ability section, it is written : "get a minimum score of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in all 4 abilities"

What does this mean exactly? I have taken my IELTS, and I have gotten the following scores:

Writing; 7.5
Reading: 7
Listening: 7.5
Speaking: 6.5

So am I not eligible according to this? Do I need a 7 band in all 4 abilities to be eligible? if so why does it say that I am eligible in my EE profile.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

My dude you have to admit this is pretty confusing, it says 7 in all 4
I don't understand what's confusing about that. You need to achieve a minimum of 7 CLB in all 4 areas. I'm not sure how much clearer they could make it. The equivalency tables tell you how CLB maps to the language test you took.

Sorry, I thought it was like 7 in speaking, 7 in writing, 7 in reading, and 7 in listening individually, not overall... My bad
