Hi ,

Can we upload an IELTS general result from 2018 that has not been provided to IRCC when applying for PR? Actually, I have not used my IELTS result before in any IRCC application. My spouse used his IELTS for PR.

When applying for citizenship, they ask for an English result, which has been provided to IRCC before when applied for PR.

Can anyone guide me on this?

Thanks

Yes you can use any IELTS GT result you have, may or may not have been submitted to IRCC before.

What was your reason for giving test before for?

Personal example, I gave IELTS for my PR application. Spouse did not but had given IELTS GT for our Australian PR application way before we even came to Canada. Used the same and we both are Canadian citizen now.

In my opinion IRCC cares about my language skills and if I have test results of the one which they have mandated, it should not matter why I took the test for.

Hello,

Good to know that you resubmitted the file.

Could you pls tell me after how many days of submission they returned your file for the minor’s signing issue? Am asking coz I also did the same mistake and wrote my son’s name instead of mine on the signing page.
All the best with your file.

My reason was to apply for immigration but the i did not used it for any thing in Canada or elsewhere. It was in 2018. Thanks

@All - I did not get any confirmation that a decision has been made. Is it normal to not have a decision made even though all other steps have been completed? Did anyone else face this issue?
