Is it possible me to use expired ielts general score for applying citizen in Canada?

My IELTS general - 6 . took on 2014.July , I took this test for immigration as skilled worker in Canada.
but eventually I couldn't use this result... so I have 2 copies of ielts result now.

CIC says :
If you did the test in the past for immigration or citizenship purposes, we will accept the results even if it has expired.

but it doesn't make clear to say the result has been sent to CIC before for immigration...btw, it is true I got old my ielts result for immigration purpose but I didn't use it for immigration.
What do you think ?

Thanks for your any comments,

Yes you can use it even though you didn’t use it with your PR application.
I used the same old 2011 IELTS score for mu citizenship application.

I am not sure about the copy. They do check the originals during an interview.

I was exactly in the same boat and I am going to take oath on Feb 06, 2020 in Scarborough. For Citizenship, I used IELTS General expired copy (which I didn't use for PR). I used CELPIP for PR.

They actually didn't check the original for me. I think IRCC has access to their database and can verify applicants' IELTS results more reliably.

Me neither (CELPIP). I wonder how much of this was based on my UK passport, or the fact that I included my degree WES validation too, or just the fact that I speak fairly good English.

Hello guys
Can I use my general IELTS score which took in 2019 for citizenship in 2024? Also I didn’t use my IELTS in PR process.

Yes you can . You can use it even you didn’t used for any immigration application. You need General Ielts .
