Do I take another IELTS

[seyi08]

Hi everyone. Am new on this forum and I think it is cool. Well I already wrote my IELTS. As a matter of fact I wrote it in April 2009.and this is my result.

Listening:7

Reading:8.5

writing:6

speaking::7.5

Overall band score 7.5

Could I still use it in 2010 or early 2011.

i think you will not be able to use that because that was more than a year already. it has to be not older than one year when you submit your application. hope this help

You can get your IELTS results mailed by the test center for 2 years, however for Canadian immigration purposes the exam results cannot be more than one year old when received by the CIO.
