IELTS for Spouse (secondary applicant) must?

[AgentC]

Hi Friends,

Is the IELTS score of the spouse must if she is applying as secondary applicant. Can I apply without my spouse taking IELTS if I am not planning to use the points from her language ability for my application?

I have taken my IELTS in July-2013 and so the score will expire in July-2015. I am in hurry to complete my application before that. Without her language ability points, I am reaching score of 390. Hopefully it will fetch me an ITA by late May and so I should be able to complete my application by late June. If I wait for my spouse's IELTS score, I will not be able to complete application by June as the earliest IETLS date available is 30th May.

We do plan to use points from my spouse's ECA (Educational Credentials) and Work Experience. Can we use these points without submitting IELTS score?

Thanks in advance!!

spouse's ielts is not a must.
Hurry with your EE application. 390 is a good score.
You will sure get ITA within a couple of months

Hi,

Nothing is predictable in EE.

Yes, you can file EE without Spouse IELTS, if needed you can add later.

As of now you submit the profile in EE ASAP.

Analyse next 2 draws...If there is good difference in Cut off like 50-80 points....just wait for your ITA.....

If the cut off diff is like 10-20 points....apply for your wife's IELTS and improve your score to get ITA in next draw.

Your profile will stay in pool for 1 year. If your wife do even in May its an added advantage for you in future.

All the best.

Hi,

I had submitted my application. was declared ineligible.

not sure what is the reasons for the profile being declared ineligible.
1. non-submission of my ECA
2. non-submission of spouses IELTS and ECA.

I am also not sure what occupation code to select.
my work profile is: I work in a investment banking role where we raise money for corporates by way of debt and equity.

can some one help me with the correct occupation code for this role???

Thanks in advance

Its not a must but guys, spouse IELTS will bump up your score a lot, and 390 is not a good score!! We are talking about going below 450 but 390 is way too low for any real chances, at least not for a year or two!!!

Are you crazy suggesting this to people? It is not a GOOD score whatsoever.
