Hi,

My husband scored 6.0 overall on IELTS. 7.0 (LIstening)- 7.0 (REading) - 4.5 (Writing) - 4.5 (Speaking)

Does he qualify under CEC, skill type B ?

Thanks,
 
Check out this link page 14 and 15

Thanks..however there is a constradiction as it says that they round scorecdown not up for example 5.5 is 5.0 not 6.0 and later it says 4.5 is 5.0.

I called the CIC Agent and he said he has no information regarding this....:-(
 
I didnt notice that, ask the CIC how they are taking the scores
 
The agent I called last week didn't know it either,...
 
I thought about your case some more and the article we thought was contradictory. I don't think we understood the explanation or it was poorly explained. I now believe what the article was trying to say is this: say you get 4.5 in speaking and the table only has 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, etc then you go with the CLB that corresponds to the 4.0 score in speaking(i.e. round down) not the one that corresponds to 5.0.

With that in mind, your husband's scores will be equalized as follows: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5609ETOC.asp
7.0 (LIstening)- CLB 7 (to go to CLB 8, he needs to have at least 7.5 in this ability)
7.0 (REading) - CLB 8 (his score is higher than the 6.5 in the table)
4.5 (Writing) - CLB 4 (no 4.5 for writing and he needs 5.0 to go to CLB 5)
4.5 (Speaking) - CLB 4 (no 4.5 for speaking and he needs 5.0 to go to CLB 5)

Unfortunately, his scores don't qualify. If he had one CLB 5 score, he would have qualified. He needs to retake the exam.
