IELTS Academic is allowed now....

From Page Number 31,

Note: For the IELTS reading and writing tests, there are ‘General Training' and ‘Academic' options. CIC
only requires to have their proficiency assessed by the ‘General Training' test but will also accept the
results of the ‘Academic' test. .

You must take IELTS before applying Canada PR.

From Page Number 37,

For applications received on or after April 10, 2010, at the
CIO, do not offer the applicant the opportunity to undergo
and submit the results of a designated language test

You must take IELTS exam before applying to sydney. I am no sure about submission of IELTS. You may submit IELTS original result to local embassy, But it is compulsory to have IELTS result to get exacy language point before applying

Seniors please discuss.....we want more update...

That would be a great news for me, if they really accept Academic Training (IELTS).I had overall band score 7.5 in Academic test.I was planning to take the General Training by next 1/2 months.

The following link (http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf)
says-now they are accepting the Academic Training but the Canadian Immigration website is still saying that Only the General Training is accepted (although the website was not updated lately).

Seniors... pls help to resolve this confusion!!!!!

IELTS Academic will help both way.....

to apply canada permanent visa and
to apply study visa in canada

After going canada, If you plan to study further as a permanent resident, IELTS academic result will help you to get quick admission. You need not to take IELTS exam again there.....

I am little confused. I browsed through this PDF but it says that only General Module of IELTS is accepted. Please see the section 12.6 of that PDF

IELTS General is the requirement as per CIC, but i am yet to see anyone got rejected by doing IELTS Academic

no this is not true. My relative is nurse. She sent her application in jan 2011. She got rejected due to academic ielts two months back. Embassy has clearly mentioned that academic ielts is not accepted.

I read somewhere in the forum that the application was sent back, since IELTS was not General.
