Waiving IELTS for study permit application

[rooney123]

Thanks for all the replies, I would give the IELTS but timing maybe an issue, getting a test date in July, after I get an admit by June end, and then waiting 15 days for the results. It was pretty much last minute decision to go to Canada for MS.

If I were to apply for study permit around Aug 1...what are chances of getting an approval for fall 2012 ?

They don't accept applications after 1st Aug I think, but if you apply just before, you'll most likely make it through.
