My wife and I are considering Auz or Canada. She wrote general ielts in Aug 2015. We would still need to have our qualifications assessed which takes 4 weeks. I wrote ielts general in April this year. We both received scores of well over 7.
My questions are:
1). I read somewhere teachers emigrating to Canada need to write Academic ielts but general ielts fine for CIC purposes. Is this correct. Can she use her general ielts to apply for express entry? And then if we gain PR visas when she is apply to teachers council in Canada does she then need to write Academic ielts?
2) How old can ielts scores be when applying for Express Entry? She wrote IELTS 29 Aug 2015. If we send her qualification off for assessment it takes 4 to 6 weeks so will be done around mid July. Is IELTS only valid for a year before applying to Express Entry pool ie she must submit express entry on or before 29 Aug 2016 or is it definately valid for 2 years ie she can submit express entry application on or before 29 Aug 2017?
Thank you.
