Re: EXPIRED IELTS @ VISA time
your ielts should be valid at the time of visa application(i was told by an agent when i was thinking about applying for NZ visa and my ielts was expiring like two months in advance from filing my case, anyhow i changed my plan aand applied for canada instead, and took the test again....they can not assess your current english level (which can be deteriorated in two years time) on the basis of your expired report card.
IELTS is not a mandatory requirement of CHC, so I can't say about your position. If you can have your university write a note that your are exmept from the requirement then u would be fine otherwise you will have to submit the valid one. It will create a good impression on your file that u can study and survive in the english speaking enviornment if you can show language competency.
you ielts was expired in july and u r enquiring about this in october, what the hell were you doing?
