Excuse me if this is a silly question:
My spouse's IELTS wil expire in the coming December. If, by then, we still haven't received DM, will the expiration lead to rejection or refusal of our application.??? His IELTS contributes points to our CRS. I found the following info in this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp
"Note: Your test results must be valid when you complete your Express Entry profile, and when you apply for permanent residence.
The profile is valid for 12 months. You should make sure that your language test results are valid for at least the same number of days.
If your test results expire soon, you should re-take the test and update your Express Entry profile with your new test results."
If necessary he will retake IELTS. Thank you in advance in any replies.
I assume you have submitted your application. IMO, once you have submitted your e-APR, I don't think this applies because it has been specifically mentioned
"Your test results must be valid
when you complete your Express Entry profile, and when you apply for permanent residence.

12 months. You should make sure that your language test results are valid for at least the
same number of days. If your test results expire soon, you should re-take the test and
update your Express Entry profile with your new test results.
There is no reference whatsoever to applications that have already been submitted. This is for people who have not yet submitted their e-APR, I guess. So, IMO, your husband does not need to re-take IELTS.
Good luck!
