Also IELTS General is more tough then IELTS Academic. If you score 8 in reading in academic it will equivalent to either 7 or 7.5 in general reading
You might be right or not but college and other institutes itself requires Academic for admission so there's no choice except academic. IELTS General is usually for PR, also it is not sure whether embassy accepts general or not, so i don't think if he should take any risk.

I don’t know where are you getting those information. Ielts Academic is recommended however if you have ielts general most schools accepts it anyways.

Hello bro,
I have applied for study permit on 7th January (second time) Non-SDS
Received BVL on 16th Jan-2020. Again I have Received BVL yesterday on 4th Feb-2020.
i have already sent them webform, they replied "Still application in process".
The only thing frustrating me is when I had applied frist time on 14 dec-2019. I had received BVL and refusal Decision letter on same day 2nd Jan-2020.
Is this normal receiving again BVL after 19 days of first BVL received for the same application??

there is no set rule for getting bvl and ppr together sometimes same day, some times weeks. It all depends on several factors like background check, criminal checks etc

I got a refusal under SDS after an interview with a reason of Purpose of Visit. I want to reapply and would require some expert opinions regarding re-application.
Highly appreciate if anyone can help in this regard.

For bachelors they might cause i applied ib University of ottawa and they didn't even ask me about IELTS i hadn't even taken ielts at that point and they gave me offer letter but general ielts wont work for masters i think or maybe even that depends on different unis

Our timelines are exactly the same. I applied under non sds on jan 8th. Did my biometrics on 16th jan. It was updated onto my account the same day. From there no updates. Not even a confirmation/correspondence letter or medical request. No messages. Still waiting...

You might be right sir. but i think IELTS academic is always recommended.

I got a correspondence letter without a request for medical. Does that mean my visa will be refused any time soon?
I am assuming you applied under non sds. What is your time line? We can’t say for sure what does it means it could be your medical request is on the way or there are chances your application is rejected too. Good luck!

normally biometrics letter is only sent after the decision has been taken
That’s why I’m stressed out. They haven’t asked for a medical yet. Does that mean they’re refusing the visa. Which is why they may have sent a correspondence letter? I’m so confused.
