You provide the IELTS under which you got ITA.

could you please send me the source for your opinion if possible? thanks for your reply

 

[Waleed Mostafa]

can any one give me a confirmed answer please?

I would provide both if possible or the most recent unexpired one. But CIC makes it clear that even if you have to retake IELTS (which I also do), if your EE score remains above the lowest score accepted in your draw, you are still good to go. Your draw went down to 453, your new score is 457, so no worries - include the new, lower, valid IELTS.

IELTS must be valid at least until AOR. If it expires between ITA and AOR you must take a new test and submit those scores. If the new score is lower but still puts you above minimum cut-off of the draw, feel free to submit the application (make sure you enter new IELTS TRF number in the application).

Thank you so much for your advise.... I submitted my application.

Hello,

I applied with the new lower IELTS score of 5.5 in Listening/Writing and the immigration officer Refused my application for the same although before submitting the application I recalculated my score which was still above the cut-off of the draw. There is nowhere written on the website that I can't apply if my score is less than 6 after I received an ITA.

Can I appeal for this decision?

Please check and advise

Regards,
Sandeep

Does this address what you believe is a mistake? (Not sure whether you are FSW, CEC, or FST)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language.asp

A 5.5 score in listening and writing corresponds to a CLB 6 so you only meet the minimum language requirements for FST or CEC with NOC B job.

 

[muxican]

You not only need to maintain a CRS score above the cut-off score, but you also must still meet the program eligibility criteria.

As pointed out by muxican, your writing score has dropped below the critical threshold of CLB 7, which renders you ineligible for FSW and all CEC NOC classes except NOC Class B.

So if you were invited under any of these programs, your lower score made you ineligible and the application was correctly refused.

You need to create a new EE profile and ideally take a new IELTS test that is as good or better than the one you originally applied with.

I just realized he/she applied under the FSW stream so that is exactly what happened and the application got correctly refused.

No need to retake if it is expires also once you have submitted your application.

Hi. I have obtained an ITA and am in the process of gathering my documents for submission. I still have around 60+ days remaining to submit my final application. Meanwhile, my IELTS score has expired. But, it was on the basis of my existing IELTS score that I obtained my ITA. Now that I have obtained my ITA, should I give a fresh IELTS test? My test results have expired on July 20th, 2017. Kindly advice asap. Thank you.

Yes, you have to resit the test and submit new scores, providing your CRS will not drop below the cut off of the draw.
