Jason is right. 6 required for each of the sections for any 0 or A occupations.

if we consider 2 year exp class i am eligible right...
Only if you applied prior to the 2nd January 2013. If you have not yet applied, then your IELTS results are too low to quality under CEC. You will need to retake the test aiming to get a minimum score of 6 in each section.

Sorry!

You must;
- have the minimum proficiency levels in English or French
: minimum CLB 7 for skill level A, minimum CLB 5 for skill level B

- have maintained temporary resident status during any periods of work experience
used to qualify for CEC;
: have to have gained work experience under valid work permits

- have qualifying Canadian skilled work experience
: have to have more than 12 months of skilled work experience within 36moths

not just IELTS, not just work experience.

I strongly recommend you read eligibility section on CIC website..

The only difference you have identified is legal work experience, which I don't believe was in question.

Agreed. Andy, I'm not sure if you made the spreadsheet or not but I highly recommend adding Country or origin to it. Sometimes there are significant delays with processing of applications and I think it would be beneficial to all to see if certain countries cause lengthier delays in processing than others.

yes, i think it holds value. but by country of origin, do you point towards country of birth ? country of residence ? OR country from where being applied ?

i m not sure if the info (applicant's country of birth) is likely to have an impact on the timelines of the application. On the same lines, even countries travelled to and countries PCC obtained from, should also add to the processing time.

Jan applicants, can you please share your thoughts ? If we can build consensus, no harm in adding a column.

Actually it will.

Criminality - looks at your PPC from home country and RCMP check in Canada. It's basically police checks.
Security - looks at your home country and also Canada... Apparently this is completed by CIS

Depending on the country of birth, further security checks may be required! I.e. there may be delays.

I agree. This could be a possibility.
Folks, adding a new column in the tracker. Please update. This info will help each one of us to assess our application status and anticipate timeline curves well in advance.
