Hmmm...

Your spouse having an English qualification(ilets) may help you you claim more points and if you get your education qualification certified by nzqa that should be some more points there. Not sure if it will get u 140 but might actually.

Hopefully someone else will have more in this.

Good luck

Hi .
Thankyou so much for the quick response.
Even my spouse also should get 6.5 avg in Ielts?
Do I need to certify my education from nzqa before my EOI? Sorry my question may be basic.
I know the PR procedure in Australia but I am new to newzealand PR process.

Thanks

Yes. Many get the nzqa before eoi.
Test this theory by recalculating points , just select that you have an nzqa qualification and put that your spouse has ilets just to see the if your points increase in the point calculator .
