It appears to so man.

Hmm, my brother, It all depends oo!! Every case is assessed differently (Case-Case)
According to a few threads and posts some Naija guys did not.
The bottom line however is:
1) If you need more than 8 Points don't take chances - write and submit the IELTS
2) If you need less than 8 points, you may wish to still take the TEST and be double sure, otherwise submit a written statement. If they are satisfied they let you sail through, and if not they request for an IELTS result to be submitted.

of course, u are not required to take ILETS but if u really want to score full points and ensure u get the points that u deserve instead of leaving yr fate to the immigration officer then u would be advised to take it! ILETS is not that hard, and if yr english is OK, u should be able to score reasonably well.

This thread might also help. The situation is sad but should be a lesson for us all.

landed on 5th Aug 2010
Although I was not asked to take the test and I am not from English speaking countries, my application was OK, maybe because I had enough points, and maybe because my field is teaching English as a second language to university level, which means good English and good communication ability, or maybe because I took my master degree from a Canadian university.

BUT.....I WOULD ADVISE ALL TO TAKE THE TEST AND TAKE NO RISKS, WHY WASTE TIME , WHY MAKE DELAY..BETTER BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

SOJ,

It is important that your friend takes the IELTS. However, i suspect that if he needs it urgently, he might not get a close date, so he can try Accra. Have you settled fully now? please i need your e-mail address. I need to discuss something with you.
