Express Entry Delay

[despairedh1b]

Hello All - Thank you for this wonderful forum.

I have had some developments recently due to which I may have to put off my Canada plans for a bit. Here is my situation so far:

1) IELTS - CLB 9 (May 2018) - Valid until May 2020
2) WES Evaluation (Oct 2018) - Canada Masters Equivalent (Valid for 5 Years)

My question is how late until can I begin my Express Entry profile creation? I have seen some threads which highlight the importance of IELTS being valid till CoPR / while some say till ITA is enough. Response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you Sam - How long does one typically get AOR after submitting the documents post ITA?

Yes, your documents have to be valid and non-expired at the time of your submission of PR application date. You'll get AOR almost immediately following submission, or just minor time lag (1 day).
