IELTS will expire or not?

[samiss]

Recently, I passed IELTS exam and planning to apply under skilled worker category for Canada in October 2006, because, my fourth years of experience will be completed in October 2006.

I just want to know that as per new rules of “Simplified Application Process” all supporting documents will have to submit on request including IELTS result. As you know that, IELTS result valid up till two years. So if embassy request for supporting documents (including IELTS result) after two years, so IELTS result will be expired, then will I have to give IELTS paper again?

Hi,

I found this when I Google-d it:

DOES THE IELTS RESULT HAVE AN EXPIRY DATE?

IELTS result is only valid for two years from the test date. This is to ensure the reliability of the test results since language skills of individuals may develop or deteriorate in a span of two years.

The IELTS system automatically deactivates IELTS result when it reaches its 2nd year. It is not possible to extend the validity of the IELTS results.

Best Regards!
