Hi, I took ielts on April 30, 2016. If I can send in my federal step application before April 30, 2017, shall I still retake ielts? Thanks!ashuindian said:Actually madam, there is a tragic story. I am 5 months late. CIC sent back my PR paper base due to IELTS issue. During this my IELTS had expired and then I sent again with updated exam. Now everything is alright. God is always with me, that's why I especially mention almighty name here in timeline.
