As long as your Acadmic IELTS is less than one year old at the time of application, you can use it.

As of 2010-04-01, academic IELTS started being accepted (per OP-6 p. 32 @http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf)

Hi

THanx

As of 26/06/10 it appears that it has changed back to General only. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

"Note: IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: “General Training” and “Academic.” You must take the “General Training” option."

THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING IELTS ACADEMIC


i applied in sep2010 and 2days back i got an official e-mail from CIO that i'm required to submitt IELTS-GT even though i scored 8.5 in IELTS academic
this clearly shows that they are not accepting IELTS ACADEMIC

CAN ANY ONE PLEASE FORWARD ME THE ORIGINAL PDF OF "OP 6", the link has been updated and the current version is of dec-2010, kindly send me "OP 6" version updated in MAy10 or June2010

thanks

Hi Everyone,

I am in the same position as DrDanishHabib. I scored 8.5 in an Academic IELTS last July. Now my laywers tell me Immigration wont accept it and that I have to do the GEneral one again.

Does anyone know if there is any chance of a waiver? Especially since Academic is tougher than General, i really dont see why they should not accept it. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Mayla

It is general or a refusal, your choice.

You must sit for GT IELTS otherwise you will be rejected. You are lucky that your lawyer is informed about this. Many applicants got their applications returned only because their lawyer ensured them about the acceptibility of Academic IELTS which was wrong.

Sit for General training IELTS immidiately. your application will get returned to your address for sure within a month or two, since CIO will not gonna accept your Academic IELTS.
When did you send your application to CIO?

Hi. I just want to ask if they send back your application since you submit academis result for Ielts? or they just emailed you and send the general results as sson you got the result? I am planning to submit my application but Ihave academic result as well but due to take general version on July 9, 2011 and that the result will be release july 22, 2011. Do you think they will accept my application and just attach the confirmation letter and receipt that I will take the exam on july 9? and just send the results July 22. thank you so much

Hi everyone! Need some suggestion please. I am planning to submit my application under FSW this july 1, 2011. I heard that CIO will not accept if you submit academic Ielts result. I am due to take the General on July 9 and the release will be july 22. Are they going to accept my application and just attach a letter of confirmation and receipt that I am going to take the general test on that date and submit the result on july 22? I am concerned with the cap that will close immediately if I will wait until july 22. Thank you very much..

they will not accept it...without GT IELTS they will just return your application package to your address.
Get the GT IELTS result first, then apply
