Dear Seniors,
I recently became a protected person, having originally come to Canada on a student visa in 2022. At the time of my student visa application in 2021, I submitted an academic IELTS, which has now expired as it's been over four years.
While filling out my PR application today, I encountered the question: "Have you taken a test from a designated testing agency to assess your proficiency in English or French?"
I'm unsure how to answer this. Should I say "yes" or "no"? Some people have advised that only a valid general IELTS (not academic) is accepted for PR purposes, and if I select "yes" based on my expired academic IELTS, it could cause issues.
I would greatly appreciate your advice on how to proceed, I know IELTS is not mandatory for convention refugees, but still want to make sure I give correct answer
