Hi There,

I am having a problem with finalizing my Canadian Citizenship application submission. The only document I’m missing is the IELTS test results, the test I already took back in 2007. On the Immigration Canada website, it clearly states

Results of an accepted third-party test at the equivalent of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB/NCLC) / Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiensFootnote 1 level 4 or higher in speaking and listening either done previously for immigration purposes (acceptable even if expired) or done specifically for citizenship purposes.

Yet, when I contact IELTS learning centre in Ireland, where I originally took my test, they are unable to provide me with any copies as the results, after 2 years, are considered expired. What am I to do? Sounds like a complete money grab to pay 300CAD to re take the test as it is not necessary.

Has anyone been in the similar situation?

Thanks for your help!

Regly

Results are valid only 2 years, you have to retake IELTS or go with CELPIP!
