It depends on how much score you have to qualify for immigration.
if it is 60 then 6.5/6 is enough.

Hi,

you need to score 60 points of you want to migrate to Australia.
But you need minimum of band 6 in all modules only if you have 60 points with all other criteria.

If you are short of 60 points then getting individual band 7 gives you another 10 points.

overall, with the above test result it highly unlikely to apply for EOI- Australia.

 not possile unless you have points from other areas
by: francis

If you leave offshore Australia, you might want to increase your point with IELTS.

If that`s your case,you need to score 7 in each four units.Your performance is really good but IELTS is tricky at times.

Try to work on the area where you scored below 7 and refresh your memory with practice tests in the other units.

 whether ielts academic score is eligible for PR visa?

 Immigration to Australia
by: IELTS buddy

I don't know much about the requirements of PR to Australia. A poster below has said you need a total of 60 points.

You would really be best to check with immigration themselves:

Offcial Australian Government Website

If it's quite complicated you may need to speak to an agent but that will cost you.

What I do know is that immigration to Australia is based on a points system. If you look at this link you'll see that a certain amount of points are awarded for English Language Skill depending on your score:

Points for IELTS score

For example, you will see that:

20 points are awarded for a band 8
10 points are awarded for a band 7
And 0 points for anything below that.

However, you will get awarded points in other areas such as if you have a job where there is a skills shortage.

So you'd really need to look at a number of factors to get enough points, not just your English.

 Improving ielts point after first registration
by: Anonymous

HI THERE !

is it possible improving ielts point after first registration?

Actually I mean, if I can register with an agent or personally my documents and my age will be accepted for sub 40 years old, then improve my ielts score from 6 score to 7 score or from 7 score to 8 score?

The main issue is that my limitation is so tight and I must be in hurry about registration. I am 39 years old.

Hi Bishal,

You need to check with the university or college that you are applying to. They decide what grades they require to allow you in, not immigration.

Immigration decide on the bands when people come to work.

 Points
by: IELTS buddy

It's done on a points system so I think you really have to work out how many other points you have, and whether a 6.5 brings you up to the total you need. I'm not sure if there is a minimum requirement of 7 but I don't think it is quite as simple as that.

by: IELTS buddy

I think it can really depend on what exactly your husband is applying for so I would check with immigration in Australia.

I would guess 7 across the board is the minimum though as it shows a very good competence in speaking English.

You'd probably need to contact the Australian immigration service to check that.

Or check with the employer (if you have a specific job you are going to) as they should know.

 Australian work visa.
by: IELTS buddy

The required band score completely depends on what job you are looking at. I know of engineers who went there and only neede 4.5 but they didn't need English for their job much and it was being arranged through an employer.

Doctors etc are going to need much higher, probably at least 7.5. So it really depends.

So you need to think more about where you are actually going to work and how you are going to get a job.

If you just simply get a ticket to Australia on the basis of a 5.5 to go and work they won't let you in.

The required level of English proficiency for an Australia PR visa depends on the visa subclass and the institution or organization being applied to.

Generally, to immigrate to Australia, applicants typically need a minimum IELTS score of 6 in each of the four sections: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.

The rules are quite complex for that and I think it also really depends on why you are going.

My understanding though is that you often need at least 7 or more.

by: IELTS buddy

My understanding is that this very much depends on your circumstances. It would depend on what kind of occupation you are wanting to go into.

Just getting a certain score in IELTS will not mean you are automatically allowed to go to Australia.

You'd still need an employer who was willing to give you a job or be going into a certain sector that has shortages. And that sector would have certain minimum requirement depending on what it was.

You would be better speaking to an experienced immigration adviser.

by: IELTS buddy

I don't know the rules for PR Australian visa. You'll probably need to look on their immigration website. I think the way they work out points is quite complicated and includes many other things alongside the IELTS score.

I think though you may need a minimum of 6 in each module to get considered. And I think you may need 7s in order to get awarded 10 points towards your other points total.

I found a points calculator for Australian skilled Migration Visa here:

Australian Visa Points Calculator

I don't know how up-to-date or accurate it is though, but as you'll see if you input scores, there is 0 for band 6 but 10 points for band 7.

You'll also see there are lots of other factors taken into account when awarding points.
