MODL - 15
Specified work experience - 10

TOTAL - 125 POINTS

This assumes the required closely related work experience for MODL and SWE points.
Hi Alan,

When I filled out the online application I just put that we were proficient in English. How do you go about the IELTS test. We are both english speaking Canadians, although I was born in the UK, so english is our first language. That is where we have lost the points.

If you can give me any advice that would be greatly appreciated. I have found this site very useful, as we are in Canada and there aren't too many sites that are specific to Canadians.

My OH's occupation is Sheet Metal Worker 1st class. The Tra passed under that occupation.

Thanks again for your help.

Karen
