Hi there,

Could any one tell me if my wife gets 6 in each category of her IELTS then how many points I can claim. I know that 5 points can be claimed in "Adaptability" but I also saw on the website that "Spouse/partner's official language (CLB4) IELTS 4.0/4.5/3.5/4.0" and 5 points per ability. What does it mean. Can I claim 20 points more because of her language skill ability or not?

Thanks indeed!!

For fsw, yes you can get 5 points
But for the express entry, the criteria has totally changed
