Do I need to retake the IELTS?

[guweishi]

My IELTS results were expired after I received the AOR letter. I received the AOR on 11th May, and my IELTS results expried on 20th May. Do I need to retake the IELTS again and submit a new IELTS results? This is my biggest concern in this stage. Pls help me to figure out this question. Thank you in advance.

No, you do not.

Thank you very much. I am still looking for some offical explanation on this issue. But I didn't find anything yet.

There's a rule which protects/freezes these sort of things: age, IELTS, etc... I can't seem to remember, may be someone else can share.

adding to what DelPiero07 mentioned the FAQ mentioned on Page 28 of this link for OINP clearly states this: http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/pr.../documents/document/oi_en_oinp_faq.pdf#page28
I was in the same situation(AoR 6 April, IELTS expired 30 April) DelPiero’s guidance was spot on.
CIC call centre agents said the same thing.

So, till now, no one ask you to submit a new IELTS results, right?

No I was not asked. You should trust what DelPiero07 says

On 25th May I spoke to CIC call center agent to follow-up on the status of my application and I asked them a specific question about my eligibility. They said they my eligibility is completed and has been recommended pass.
You can refer a thread on the forum which helps you understand what Eligibilty covers:

You should listen and believe when @DelPiero07 explains something. Once you have AOR your IELTS expiry means nothing. I am putting this excerpt from CIC :

"Your test results must be valid (less than two years old) when you:

• complete your Express Entry profile
• apply for permanent residence

The Express Entry profile is valid for 12 months. Make sure that your language test results are valid for the same time period.


If your test results expire soon, you should re-take the test and update your Express Entry profile with your new test results."

Good Luck !
