Hello cprak0, You raised an interesting point! You are right, 8 is the highest level offered by LINC classes I think... I appeared for IELTS in 2006 for PR application, unfortunately I did not keep a copy of the results. Having submitted the original IELTS to CIC, I had no proof of language...

Hello tgb87, Based on the info shared with us, you never received "Deportation order" or "Removal order". 1) I was questioned and the IO decided I wasn't fulfilling my requirements. But they said they couldn't stop me from entering. None of the above means you broke the law 2) Fingerprints...

Hello dkera, I don't think C-6 applicants will affect your timeline, I am saying this based on my experience. CIC rarely mix applicants from various streams...
