my ielts expires on 30 may 2017.
i am planning to make a new EE profile & hoping to get ITA.
Correct me please -
1.as per my understanding my ielts needs to valid until i receive the ITA. doesnt matter if my ielts expires after i receive ITA.
2. CIC may send me ITA. But i have heard u get 60 days to submit docs for my ITA. In my case can I use my expired IELTS i.e. after 30 may 2017 to continue my ITA.

basically upto what point ielts validity question stops arising or upto what point you need to have valid ielts ? <b> It need to be valid at the time of eAPR </b>
what if i accept ITA and submit all docs before 30 may 2017 ( before my ielts expires), will i be fine ? <b> YES, No issue </b>
Thanks Ya9545 for the reply.
So i should be fine if i get my eAPR before my ielts expiry. Yes. I hope to do the same
2nd thing I have heard & want to clear my doubt. Do i need to have valid ielts when i get my permanent residence ? Never heard of it. If you find any info on this, plz share
yes, I checked the CIC link several times and it says
Note: Your test results must be valid (less than two years old) when you complete your Express Entry profile, and when you apply for permanent residence.
meaning when we submit our application eAPR/AOR, not till we get the PR
I am learning things with u as I am in a similar situation.
Submission date of the eAPR, yes, is the day when we finish filling in all the forms and submit our docs.
AOR is an automated Acknowledgement of Receipt of our documents. As it should be automatic, it shouldnt take long. But people on forum said it might take up to several weeks ??? This is smth we might need to worry about and take into consideration when deciding when to submit.
In order to get better understanding of how long it really takes from submission of eAPR to receiving AOR, I am going to check people`s timelines
ok. after a quick check of the several threads (AOR November, December and January) and tables posted there, i came to conclusion that AOR comes the same day one submits their eAPR.
In other words, for us it means that as long as we submit our application before expiration of our IELTS, we are safe.
That being said, I would suggest you not to leave it till the last moment coz nobody can predict system glitches etc. And just to make sure I am not locked out of the pool in case something goes wrong, I have registered for the ielts in march.
