If you have the time and money, it would be a good experiment to see. I think Singapore is pretty competitive in terms of education, so your marker was probably tough as well. In that case, you might have a good chance.

Well, how confident are you about the way the test went? Do you have an accent? How thick it is? Did you speak fast? If you answer is no, you might have a chance to get higher score. Did you use idioms? Did you use topic specific words for section 2? Did you use less common words? If the answer...

It depends in which stream you are applying. If you want to get a lot of points, then you would need CLB 9 at least, which is 8 for listening and 7 for all other section. Unless you are involved with language teaching, you don't have much time now; IELTS is not easy, even for the native...

2 more days to go, freaking out..

Thanks so much. I feel like I am in the same boat, although I am still waiting for the results of my 1st attempt. I feel I totally blew writing by writing too much for task 1 and not having enough time for task 2. For speaking, I think I spoke too fast as I was a bit nervous. Plus, I have not...

Wow, how long did it take in total? I noticed your listening progressed consistently, but your reading and speaking stayed the same. I understand about speaking, but how come your reading never advanced? It's supposed to be the easiest section.

I did this one and I think I did bad on writing I think. Speaking was like a blur, it was all about sunshine and sea. I have a doubt about 4 questions from listening part where a girl and a guy did some project observing seals or something. 2 things the guy was supposed to do I chose: A. Get...

I took TOEFL IBT long time ago and got 104. I was not as fluent as I am today. Speaking definitely was a new thing then and I had zero preparation for that and I got 22 on that. However, CELPIP and IELTS seem to be whole different animals. I took CELPIP twice, didn't buy any study materials...

I thought the same. I wonder if we can unite and do something against CELPIP. At least, make them change speaking part.

Wow, this is so ideal. You don't need any parts higher, you could afford to lose 0.5 in reading. But so efficient. Congrats.

2 very important things to score above 8. 1. BUY study materials and practice them a lot, especially recent ones, I think each one is $20. Don't be like me, BUY BUY BUY. 2. Use IELTS speaking and writing materials. There are tons of them, but not much for CELPIP.

CELPIP speaking is definitely more stressful and there are not enough materials for it. In fact, I feel stupid that I haven't used IELTS speaking tips for it. Overall, they are testing for almost the same thing; how close the person's expressions to that of a native speaker. For other parts...

I noticed that you write long sentences and that's good. However, I am suspicious that you are using correct punctuation; you can't always use A comma. Do you see what I did there? If your sentences are somehow related, but not exactly going together, then you would have to use A semi-colon. But...

You are eligible to open a profile as you have enough for FSWP, but you won't get points for Canadian work experience under Express Entry because that experience was obtained during studies.

I thought caregiver program is closed (just on paper, impossible in reality), meaning very, very, very few actually get LMIA.

For TRV, you have to apply to Seattle, not Veggrevile or Ottawa or whatever. They only deal with study/work permits.

Thanks for replies. I know I don't need a new study permit if I can keep my old passport. But I can't keep it, they will destroy it when I get a new passport.

Hi everyone, I have a passport that expires in 2016 and I got a new study permit that expires in the same year. But my home country is implementing a new type of passport and requiring all passports to be renewed. If I renew my passport, do I need a new study permit? I know I don't need it if I...
