Hiii Saki,

I was about to file for PR this week itself and this has come as bolt from the blue for me... I would come under the new rules which came into effect from 26th June... but I wrote IELTS on 10th April 2010.

Means I would have to write GT now... Writing IELTS is not a problem, but the wait period to get date for test and then waiting for results is a bit too much plus the fees that I would have to pay again... the situation is further aggravated by the fact that now u have only 1000 application per NOC... I just checked on net the date I am getting for British Council Exam is not before 31st July, which means if I write on 31st July, result will be out on 14th August and further 10 days for getting the physical copy of the IELTS test result, the whole process will put me back by more than a month... but if it is absolutely necessary I will write it... have no option...

Hi buddy,



I think if they have put it on there website then it is necessary to get General, but some people on the forum says Academic is still acceptable, its all upto you what you think but i gave you a reference from the website and its not just what i am saying. If i was you i would take the General and send it in August because its better to send correct documents now rather than sending wrong and then after waiting for 2-3 months you get a refusal letter that your IELTS is not sufficient then it will take more than 1 month time to fix things up.

Cheers
Saki

I also have the same problem. However, i will book for the exam on July 31, the soonest possible date. :) I just hope CIC will provide the latest numbers of approved applications per occupation, so we would know are chances. :)
