IELTS for immigration and professional registration

[damianronksley]

Hi guys, little bit of advice please...

I am currently putting together my application for PR under FSW, and obviously I need to do the IELTS.

The CIC website says i need the General test for the PR application, which is fine.

However I am also completing the application for my nursing license, for which I also need IELTS, but the Academic one...

Obviously the IELTS test isn't the cheapest thing to do (certainly not here in the UK), so would CIC accept the Academic one I need to do for my nursing license, or do I need to do the test twice - General one for CIC and Academic one for nursing license?

Thanks

No - CIC does not accept Academic IELTS. Only General. If you send Academic IELTS results with your FSW application then your application will be automatically refused.
