FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[Rastamans Prayer]

Hello everyone,

I need some clarification on the issue of claiming points as regards ielts.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

From the link above, I understand that a minimum CLB 7 = 16 points, CLB 8 = 20 points and CLB 9 = 24 points. Meaning that for CLB 7, an applicant is given 4 points per ability (irrespective of what the actual score of that ability is). For CLB 8, 5 points per ability and CLB 9, 6 points per ability. Anything below CLB 7 is not acceptable. Also meaning that applicants can ONLY get either 16 points, 20 points or 24 points. This is based on the assumption that English is the applicant's first official language. The applicant can only claim a maximum of 4 points in the second official language. Making a total of 28 points for language ability.

Is the above understanding and calculation correct? I'm asking because I've seen a different kind of calculation on this forum (not necessarily this thread though) that I find rather confusing. Points like 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and even 23.

Please I need your inputs.

Rastaman

Please find below. You can calculate your Points.


IELTS: International English Language Testing System

IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: “General Training” and “Academic.” You must take the “General Training” option.

First official language (Maximum 24 points)

CLB Level Ability: Speaking Ability: Listening Ability: Reading Ability: Writing Points per ability
7 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0 4
8 6.5 7.5 6.5 6.5 5
9 and above 7.0 – 9.0 8.0 – 9.0 7.0 – 9.0 7.0 – 9.0 6

Check your score in the range and calculate your CLB

Deebruv, I've gotten my PER already. I asked the question because of the confusing analysis I've seen in this forum. Please go through my earlier post and understand the point I'm trying to make. On the right hand side of your post it's said "points per ability". Does it mean that irrespective of what the applicant gets in each ability, those are the points that will be awarded per ability in line with the CLB?

What points can an applicant with CLB 8 (S:6.5, L:8, R:7, W:6.5) claim? My understanding is that this applicant can only claim 20 points.

Thanks for your response.

Hello my peeps,

Application sent and received by Mike. Thanks all for your assistance.

Issue; I can't edit my forum profile details. I wanna include my app progress but I only have the option of changing password.
What's the magic in getting it done?

My Brother. That is what happens when one interjects in the middle of a discussion without knowing the origin. Now I understand. I wish you the very best for the remaining journey to PR. One love.

No, the applicant Total Points will be 22 (S: 5pts, L: 6pts, R: 6pts and W: 5pts).

Cheers.

Hi guys, just to applaud the team on this thread and appreciate all inputs and suggestions. Special thanks bjenike for helping out with a sample of ECA for OND/HND qualifications and also thanks to Deebruv for his analysis and mature candor. I appreciate everyone who is helping out on this thread by way of asking questions that make some of us run to get answers and to those who help to provide solutions, direction, statistics and above all prayers.
It shall be well with us and all that concerns us. Please, we will be introducing a spreadsheet for 2014 FSW applicants from Nigeria. Similar to the global spreadsheet for 2014 FSW applicants, this one will be dedicated to Nigerian applicants, to help chronicle our timelines and track our progress. Our senior, Kollins will play lead consultant in designing and maintaining it while ksa will also be involved in maintenance and update of data on the sheet.
I would like you all to visit the sheet and supply your relevant data and please spread the word to other Naijas on the forum to log their 2014 data on the sheet. The link for the sheet will soon be published on this thread, hopefully before the week is out.
A wonderful week ahead to you all, God bless this dear family

Forumites. It might be a kind of stale news to you. But I now know why there was so much influx of 2174 and 1112. They apparently had most of their applications returned in 2013 due to cap that was already filled in their various NOCs. 300 maximum cap for 24 occupations with a total of 5000. So many applications were returned. Please see the 2013 list below.
0211 Engineering managers
1112 Financial and investment analysts
2113 Geoscientists and oceanographers
2131 Civil engineers
2132 Mechanical engineers
2134 Chemical engineers
2143 Mining engineers
2144 Geological engineers
2145 Petroleum engineers
2146 Aerospace engineers
2147 Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)
2154 Land surveyors
2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers
2243 Industrial instrument technicians and mechanics
2263 Inspectors in public and environmental health and occupational health and safety
3141 Audiologists and speech-language pathologists
3142 Physiotherapists
3143 Occupational Therapists
3211 Medical laboratory technologists
3212 Medical laboratory technicians and pathologists' assistants
3214 Respiratory therapists, clinical perfusionists and cardiopulmonary technologists
3215 Medical radiation technologists
3216 Medical sonographers
3217 Cardiology technicians and electrophysiological diagnostic technologists, n.e.c. (not elsewhere classified)

I'm sure if they had allowed 1,000 applications last year, the pressure on NOCs 2174 & 1112 would have been a bit reduced.

Although i still believe they would still be the first to be capped.

Nice one, but just for clarification purpose, is it only restricted to 2014 FSW applicants? Will it by any chance accomodate the 2013 applicants?

Hello Phiib, the 2013 FSW applicants already have their spreadsheet that Kollins manages.
