Hi All

I have sent my application for family class sponsorship from Australia in early February and am yet to receive any notification from CIC but my question is someone mentioned to me that I needed to take the IELTS test but I went back to the CIC website and found that in the documentation for the application forms there was no mention of this test.

Is this correct or is it something I have overlooked or is it due to my application being from Australia?

Or does the IELTS test only apply for express entry?

If you are being sponsored by a Canadian spouse/relative - you do not need IELTS
