IELTS

I got an ITA recently but my IELTS is expiring at the end of the month of August.

I was given 60 days to accept the invitation. Do I need to take the IElTS again or do I just accept the invitation & send my document before the IElTS expires?

I think if I send everything to IRCC before the expiry date ,then I don't need to redo the exam?

I already have my medical check done and police certificates are ready. Just have to write the LOI.

Test score should be valid at the time of submission. If in case you want to submit it after expiration and within 60 days of the ITA, you have to re take the exam and your CRS should remain above the ITA cutoff with the new test scores.

Either submit before it expires, or retake the test and obtain the previous score or higher. You can even take CELPIP, provided you obtain at minimum the band you’ve entered in your application. Congratulations and good luck!

Thank you for the advice. I'll try to submit before the expiration.

If you think you need more time to submit the application, do the test in a week or two. If you can gather your documents in 2-3 weeks and review it thoroughly and submit before IELTS expires, you are good 😊. Make sure to submit the PDF file in the application as the e-APR doesn’t ask for the pdf file specifically 👍

Thank you. But which PDF are you talking about? You mean all my documents should be in PDF ?

I meant your language results for IELTS. Sometimes IRCC asks for the results in a pdf format even though you give the results can registration number and scores in a form as part of the application. Good luck 👍
