Multiple IELTS TRF Question/CLB-7

[thedippaar]

Friends,


I applied under FSW (CPP-O) in Aug 2012 and AOR was received in Oct 2012. So far there was no progress/updates from CIC. My WP expired this mid-Oct 2013 and currently on BoWP expiring in June 2014. I started working since Jan 2011, and have 2.5+ years exp in Canada. I am currently not working on BOWP and planning to move out of country.

With the timeline changes to 25 months, I am thinking of applying under CEC as I have more than 1 year experience in Canada. I took IELTS last year, but could not meet CLB7 in one module. So, I took IELTS this Oct and yet again missed CLB7 in one of them, although overall band is 6.5 in both. Now that I have CLB 7 in all modules with both tests, can I send both?


IELTS General Score - March 2012
Listening:6.5
Reading:6.0
Writing:7.0
Speaking:5.5
Overall:6.5

IELTS General Score - Oct 2013
Listening:6.5
Reading:5.5
Writing:7.0
Speaking:7.5
Overall:6.5


1) Is it OK to submit CEC application, while FSW is submitted?

2) Can I apply under CEC, and send both the scores, as I have Band 6 (CLB7) and they are less than 2 year scores?? Is it OK to send 2 TRF's? I didnt see anywhere in the application/checklist specifying any constraints. Let me know.

2) I currently do not have work, so planning to move out of country for sometime. Do I need to update my address on FSW application & on the CEC?

Pls help.


Thanks in advance.

1) Yes - you can apply for CEC while your FSW application is in progress.

2) No - your IELTS score isn't high enough to apply for CEC. You need to score at least 6 in each category in one single IELTS test You cannot combine two tests. You'll need to take the test again and score at least 6 in each category to qualify to apply for CEC.

3) You should notify CIC of your address change if you leave Canada.
