Is IELTS Academic acceptable for FSW?

[imranfarrukh]

Hello Seniors
Can anybody tell me that IELTS Academic test is acceptable or otherwise for newly introduced FSW program?
2. If not, Can I apply to CIO with IELTS (Academic) and send IELTS (GT) result after undertaking the test in one month time.
3. Can anybody have FSW Score chart under new policy starting 4th may.
Thankyou for reply
regards
Imran

1. No - Academic is not accepted.
2. No - you cannot apply with Academic and send IELTS later. You must include IELTS General results with your original application.

Yes - I'm sure.

See the official CIC page with the requirements. You'll see only IELTS General is listed.
