Hi guys,

for EE language test should be less than 2 years old, I have taken IELTS. and on the score certificate, there are 2 dates on it, one is "test date" and the other one is "test result date"

for the less than 2 years requirement, which date would be considered?

Thanks a lot!

It is actually two years from the date you took the test on. IT IS NOT THE RESULT DATE.
Just check the come to Canada tool and play around with the dates and you will see.

Did that and worked perfectly - assuming more than 2 years from the test date (by a few days)

Still eligible.

What date did you try it with?

I am actually pretty sure that what you are saying is incorrect.
Maybe anyone else would like to add in...

Try making a new profile with a IELTS test result with a test date which is a little older than 2 year and you won't be able to generate the code.

So it is the test date?

Mine is Dec. 13 2014 for test date and result date is Dec. 23 2016...

If its test date then this result would not be good for the next draw...

I guess so...
Earlier there was a glitch of sort in EE which made your profile eligible until the test result date.
But I think they fixed that problem during recent changes to their website.
I remember reading something similar on the list of changes they made ( I am not sure about this as I didn't read carefully )

Weird! CIC website says "Language tests

Check that your language test results will still be valid on the date you plan to apply for permanent residence. If your results expire before then, you should:
