To set you mind at ease you should read the checklist for CIO Sydney, # 9 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.PDF
 
You should better take IELTS general training if you plan to apply FSW under post 26 June system.CIO has strongly demanded General training test only.
 
Dear all,

General IELTS is required for immigration. Academic is required for higher education purposes. If you intend to go for masters or doctorate between now and then, then academic is yours however mind the 2 year validity. academic IELTS supersedes general one and more more difficult.

The immigration guide EG7000 refers to only IELTS without being specific to general or academic, hence choice is ours, and majority goes for general.

Cheers!
 
Hi

Go for general for sure..i have read in another forum where an applicant was asked to submit general IELTS reports where in he submitted academic.
 
General is Basic requirement and it should be followed. Academic is for different purpose
 
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
 
General. Academic is for studying purpose .eg when u going to get a admission in any foreign university. Goodluck
 
Dear All,

I have to correct myself. General IELTS is required by CIC and Academic is not accepted. Here is the statement in OP06:

IELTS offers ‗General Training‘ and ‗Academic‘ options. Only the ‗General Training‘ tests are accepted for CIC purposes.

Cheers
