General IELTS only!

Yep, apparently only General. But that's very strange - why is that the case?

Academic is more difficult and is taken by those applying for schools (Colleges and Universities)

For all other purposes (Work/Immigration/Other) applicants should take General Training since it's not so geared towards academic purposes

That's what makes it odd. One would assume that, given the higher difficulty of the Academic test, it should be more than enough to qualify.

no... only general module....

Because it is difficult to get a good score in general module although the question is easier than academic module.

Hi Folks,

My application is in the express pool already since January 15

I had given my IELTS on 19th Jul 14

My consultant says I need to re give IELTS since its expiring in July 15.

However IELTS scores are valid for 2 years? then how can it expire in 1 year?

Please help if somebody has got any info on this piece :-[ DO I need to reappear?

Your consultant is not telling the facts. IELTS scores are valid for up to 2 years. Its a sign that you should stop spending money on this consultant as he/she have demonstrated their lack of knowledge. All the best

Mate, your consultant may be asking to increase your score. otherwise, Ielts validity is for 2 years.

Check this:

cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

It says:

IELTS: International English Language Testing System
IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: “General Training” and “Academic.” You must take the “General Training” option.

All the best!
