Hi guys
weird question but I need to stay on the safe side :
I accepted ITA after nomination , and I have 60 days left to apply , but my IELTS expires in 20 days
I think I could not apply for eAPR before my IELTS expires
Still I have the TEF exam valid for December which gives me more time
Do you guys think I can apply for PR with only TEF results valid ? (NO IELTS)
PS: Banking problems ....

Hi Tanit,
I think it's all about THE EFFECT that the expiry of IELTS will have on your CRS SCORE. Provincial nominees have the advantage of the 600 points, which really gives them a big step ahead in terms of CRS score. However, YOU STILL NEED TO MEET THE MINIMUM ENTRY CRITERIA (MEC) after your IELTS expiry. You can use the online tool to recalculate your score ( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp).
If everything is fine with MEC (and you should be fine since your TEF is still valid) then you may not worry about expiry of IELTS. Check the link below for CIC take on this.

Lets hear what others think
Good luck!
Thank you PaulRich , as always
, you just opened my eyes mateIt's true that the 600 points advantage is great BUT CIC will still check the eligibility of the six selection factor :
"Express Entry candidates are scored using the Comprehensive Ranking System. If your skills and experience qualify you as a federal skilled worker, we will also assess you on six selection factors.
If you score 67 points or higher (out of 100), you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker.
If you score lower than the pass mark of 67 points, you won’t qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker."
so once ITA is received and accepted the six selection factor is the key for eligibility, and since my score is so close to 67 , I need those 4 points from IELTS ( snif snif , 20 days left, unless I retake IELTS pffffff )

Sorry to hear that IELTS expiry would affect your MEC. In that case you need to keep a close watch on factors that are likely to affect your score and act before they do.Thank you PaulRich , as always

I m preparing my document in order to send to Ontario
I have a question regarding the work experience document , i had 1 year experience with following document :
- job employment letter mentioning the duration( 1 year) and the title but without without mentioning the working hours and responsibilities ( in french)
- Job contract ( in french)
- Pay slip 11 month ( in french)
- Also the job vacancy for the position from there official web site including all responsibilities neede. Can these documents be accepted without the form required? Would it be accepted to send this document after submitting my application until I receive it from the HR .
If you have nomination in the French stream IELTS is a must. But with that said all you need is any valid IELTS with CBL 6 or better.
Thing is that also French stream does not have points requirements, they still have requirements for the stream as such and one of them is the bilinguality. So either submit before expire of the IELTS or reject and redo the IELTS test.
In case of retaking IELTS I would also advise you to inform ontario about your new test results. I know for sure, that they do recheck your nomination with your province.
Good luck.
Wish you all the bestHi guys
