Query regarding english tests for Express Entry candidates

[gamerzzone]

Hi everyone,

For applying under Express Entry program do we have to complete the IELTS Academic or General test?

In the CIC website I don't see where they have mentioned this.

Since I am a student I have already achieved IELTS Academic last year. Would they accept this? or do I have to again go for the IELTS General exam?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

General is accepted only.
