No, if they wanted Academic, then they wouldn't specify general would they?

If you were born/raised/educated/worked in an English speaking country (Scotland) then you don't need the IELTS.

I know academic assessment is higher but everyone usually says that it is not acceptable for Canadian immigration purposes. Do you know anyone who has gotten in with academic IELTS or are you basing it on the fact that it is of higher standard.

Thank you Rely. I think many people have been told incorrectly that their academic IELTS will not be accepted. This is very helpful.
You mean that CIC's instructions are wrong and that everyone should rely on Rely?

"English Language Testing Organizations

IELTS: International English Language Testing System

The University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate, IDP Education Australia: IELTS Australia and the British Council administer this test.

Note: IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: General Training and Academic. You must take the General Training option."

If you already have test, you can submit with your application, you either need originals or notarized copy of the test with the application. It is better to submit the test with the application as it expires for CIC in one year, and if you submit within one year of test with your application, it wont expire as long as the test is with them and taken within past year, but if you sit on it, your test may get expired by the time they will ask you.

Urgeeeeeeeeeent

Dear All,

It seems really that my subject is complicated as you know I got the file no 1 Nov 2005

And I submitted the IELTS by fax on 18 Dec by mail 22 Dec

As per the old rules the required score is 7 7 5 5

I got L 6.5 R 7 W 5 S 7.5 = 12 point

As per the new rules I will get = 11 point only

So I am really disappointed and worry if they applied the new rules on my case I will be rejected


thanks and i need your help ASAP

You will get the number of points most beneficial to you if you submitted prior 28/11/08, they will look at both scales
