IMPORTANCE OF 8777
IELTS test bands are used by immigration authorities all over the world in order to make a selection amongst aspirants for permanent residency for their respective countries. As countries make selection based on point based system, so this is where the importance of more bands in IELTS, gains significance and prominently the attractive figure of 8777 in IELTS.
IELTS 8777 means that a person has to score the below mentioned bands in each module of IELTS exam and the following table throws light on it.
Listening	8
Reading	7
Writing	7
Speaking	7
So, the question arises why this particular combination is important and what difference can it make to overall score of an applicant.
The mystery behind this score is explained in relation to someone who is planning to immigrate to Canada and Rup’s case study highlights the significance of this score as follows.
Case :  Rup wants to move to Canada under the Express Entry System and basic details of Rup are as follows:

If we keep all the parameters mentioned above same and only consider different IELTS scores , then it is easier to understand the importance of IELTS 7778.
Canadian immigration authorities see CLB equivalent of individual IELTS scores for calculating total scores for express entry. The CLB charts used are shown below:
Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level per ability	With a spouse 
(Maximum 128 points)	Without a spouse
(Maximum 136 points)
Less than CLB 4	0	0
CLB 4 or 5	6	6
CLB 6	8	9
CLB 7	16	17
CLB 8	22	23
CLB 9	29	31
CLB 10 or more	32	34
The chart used to convert IELTS score to CLB is given below :
IELTS – General Training – Test score equivalency chart
CLB Level	Reading	Writing	Listening	Speaking
10	8.0	7.5	8.5	7.5
9	7.0	7.0	8.0	7.0
8	6.5	6.5	7.5	6.5
7	6.0	6	6	6.0
6	5.0	5.5	5.5	5.5
5	4.0	5	5	5.0
4	3.5	4.0	4.5	4.0
When both these charts are seen together, then it can be seen that IELTS 8777 score is equal to CLB 9. So, even a half band score variation from IELTS 8777 can reduce CLB level from CLB 9.
An unmarried person with CLB 9 scores 31 points for each module in their IELTS, but in addition to this, they get 50 points instead of 25 for skill transferability factors because of having CLB 9, and 50 points instead of 25 for foreign work experience  with CLB 9.
In this given case study, Rup’s IELTS scores converted to various CLB scores is given below:
CLB score	Language Score
CLB 9	31*4 = 124
CLB 8	23*4 = 92
CLB 7	17*4 = 68
CLB 6	9*4 = 36
 
Conclusion
A person who scores 8777 in IELTS will score:
•	32 more points than someone with CLB 8 in their language ability.
•	50 points more than someone with CLB 8 in their Skill Transferability Factors and Foreign work experience
Total Difference of CLB 8 and CLB 9 (8777)	    82 Points
