I have just been invited by the express entry, one concern is my language result is expiring at the end of February 2017. If I can submit the application before the result expires, will the language test cause some negative effect of the result?

Thank you!

what do you mean by invited by express entry ? i didnt understand it, please can you explain in detail.

if you ahve received ITA, and you upload all your documents by jan and receive AOR also, then it doesnt matter if IELTS expires after that...

but i need to clearly understand what your current situation is

The test report must be valid i.e. less than 2 years old on the day ITA was issued. check this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

"...Accordingly, officers should refuse an application under section A11.2 if it is determined that

at the time of the ITA or e-APR, the applicant did not or does not meet the MEC, which includes the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply; or
the applicant’s recalculated CRS score has fallen below that of the lowest-ranked candidate invited to apply in that round of invitations."

Thanks for your help! ;D Yes, I have received ITA. Do you know how long will it take to receive the AOR normally?

You receive AOR once you submit your e-APR which is immediately. In my view if you submit your e-APR and get the AOR before your IELTS expires, you should be fine else you'll have to retake IELTS.
