Shall I apply for Experience Class with My IELTS results

[abualjooj]

I just got my results and was wondering if I should go ahead an apply under the Canadian Experience Class. My occupation falls under NOC level 0 (Marketing Manager).
Here are my IELTS results:
Writing 6.0, Speaking 8.0, Listening 7.5, Reading 6.0

I'm pretty sure the 6s are due to my bad handwriting which i struggled with since middle school :'(

I dont want to re-take the exam ....is it worth risking and applying with these scores?
thanks

I think you should repeat the test. Check page 15 where it clearly states the two scenarios where you pass. Other then those two you fail.

It states:
If CLB levels are all 7 or higher, or are 6 for any one ability, 7 or higher for any other two, and 8 or higher for the remaining ability the applicant passes minimum required language levels

You have 6 in two of them.

Just like lahorimunda said, I would also suggest you retake the test since it clearly states on page 15and you have 2 6's in them...

..but @abualjooj wrote his IELST results...
first need to transform them to CLB

 

[SenoritaBella]

Writing 6.0 - CLB 7
Speaking 8.0 - CLB 8
Listening 7.5 - CLB 8
Reading 6.0 - CLB 7

Your results qualify.

Here are my IELTS results:
Writing 6.0, Speaking 8.0, Listening 7.5, Reading 6.0

I'm pretty sure the 6s are due to my bad handwriting which i struggled with since middle school :'(

Thanks all for your feedback.
I believe SenoritaBella is right...after some investigation of my own, i got the same answer.

People tend to confuse IELTS scores vs. CLB levels.

I should be applying next week....fingers crossed

 

[lahorimunda]

Sorry for the confusion, You are right. Your test results are all above CLB 7.0 so you should be good.

Good luck for you application.

Keep us posted on the progress.
