IMTS said:6 on each band to be elegible for Express Entry.
thestunner316 said:that will not get you anywhere... with 6 bands in each you will get like 300 points which is worthless... what you need to target are below
listening 8 (nothing less than 8, 7.5 will get you 50 points less)
reading 8
writing speaking 7
with these, and bachelors degree and if you are below 32 yrs of age you will be easily over 420 points, which is a great start.
istari said:OINP requires 6 in each band of the IELTS (which is CLB 7). This is the same score that is required for EE.
Pascal.H specifically asked about the IELTS score required for OINP.
If he receives OINP, achieving max IELTS will make no difference because he will have the additional 600 points.
thestunner316 said:to receive PT from OINP, you still need atleast 400 points (could increase in teh future)
CLB 7 will get you around 350 points, which is not enough.
istari said:How many points CLB 7 gets you depends entirely on your other factors. OP could have a PhD and 5 years of Canadian work experience; he hasn't mentioned anything else in this thread, so we don't know.
thestunner316 said:CLB9 is required to maximise number of points... you can have a PHD but if you dont have good IELTS scores, overall points will still be less.
karenv said:No one can be sure that OINP will still remain the cut off at 400.
istari said:That's true.
