I want to apply for Canada SDS, is an IELTS 1 skill retake accepted for SDS? I checked canada.ca website but I didn't find anything related 1 skill retake for the SDS category. They mentioned overall 6 band is required.

Never seen IRCC mention that one take is accepted. For Express Entry, it is no so assume the same.

It's not accepted for Express Entry. You have to retake the whole test.

IRCC has officially removed the line "We don’t accept the One Skill Retake version of the IETLS General Training test" from their page: "Language testing—Skilled immigrants (Express Entry)" on 2023-12-21 (refer to the date modified): https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/language-requirements/language-testing.html.

Does this mean that the IELTS One Skill Retake is accepted now?

Also, I see IRCC mentioned in the official IDP IELTS list of One Skill Retake Recognized Organizations. Please refer to this screenshot: https://postimg.cc/rKvtkVXz.

IT IS NOT ACCEPTED! You have been told over and over again it is not accepted. Anyone who wants to improve their score need to do the whole thing again.
Maybe you want someone to tell you what you want to hear…so go ahead and convince yourself it is accepted.

This is the only what the website shows as of today:

IELTS: International English Language Testing System

• You must take the IELTS General Training option.

Has anyone here confirmed with the IRCC if 1 skill retake is accepted for Immigration purposes?

TIA.

It’s not accepted express entry. It accepted for certain refugee applicants ONLY. Hope this puts this question to bed.
