Hi! Thanks I'm doing great, I hope you're well too. In the AINP document checklist (
https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/lbr-ainp-express-entry-stream.pdf) it says:
Candidate and spouse/common-law partner (if applicable):
• Do not include language assessments for family members.
• The test results cannot be more than two years old.
Note: If you are nominated by the AINP, your language test results included with your application for permanent residence will also need to be less than two years. You may need to update your test results prior to applying to the federal government.
• The AINP accepts only the following designated language assessments:
Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) General Test, or
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) General Training Test, or
Test d’évaluation de français Canada (TEF Canada), or
Test de connaissance du français Canada (TCF Canada)
• Test results must meet the minimum standards outlined on the IRCC Express Entry page. Canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/ services/immigratecanada/express-entry/documents/language-requirements. html
So it seems, as the spouse, you are required to provide your IELTS
general training test as well. I'm not sure how stringent AINP is about all this but I would definitely not risk it and do exactly what the document checklist says.
