Hi,
I have been working in Canada for last 1 Yr and 2 months in work permit as a full time basis and i have 13 Years of experience outside of Canada (3Yrs in US and 10 Yrs in India).

I have completed my IELTS with score of (R:6, W:5.5, L:7.5, S: 7). Based on the Express Entry eligibility check here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool-immigration-express-entry.html, i'm getting as i'm not eligible to apply with the above score. Is that all four tracks in IELTS needs to be 6 for entering Experience Class category in Express entry profile for Ontario?

Could you please clarify?

I think it’s your writing score which maybe the reason.
- If your NOC code 0 or A you need minimum 6 and above in all 4 abilities
If your NOC code B you need minimum 5 or 6 or above in all 4 abilities
