with or without IELTS

[farhaniqbal]

I have applied under NOC 4121 and have just received AOR email. But I can't take IELTS before 20th feb 2010. result of IELTS wont come before 2nd week of march. I was wondering whether I should send my full application without IELTS because i just need 4 points in English proficency. All my Education BS in Engineering and MS in Engineering has been in english. I am teaching in a university from last two years and medium of instruction is English. Should I sent a full application stating all these facts for getting 4 points for English, I will also mention that I am taking IELTS on 20th january and if need be I 'll send my IELTS score in march. What do you guys recommend, Should i wait for 1 and half month and send my full application with IELTS score or should I sent the full application now for speedy process.

Please wait for IELTS results before applying, if you are short of 67 points and depend on IELTS for getting any points to reach 67

Also it is recommended to send the entire application in one go unless you are reaching the 120 days deadline, where you can take exception and explain the reason for exception.

Wish you all the best

Hi there,, Could you please advice me as well, as I want to submit my app. without IELTS as I am living in UK for nearly three and half a year and work in a university as a sesional lecturer, I finished my PhD from UK as well, do you think that would demonstrate my abilities in English and would be a satisfactory level for CIC? your reply would be highly appreciated.

it is highly recommended that you take IELTS if english is not your first language. i think what's the harm in taking IELTS? it will cost you some, but i believe its worth it. you'll know for certain how many points you'll get, plus, maybe, save some time off your application processing

good luck . .

The instruction guide says it in slightly mild words but the fact is iIf your first language is not English, you need to take IELTS.

Also it helps you as you are not dependent on IO/VO discretion and also will avoid delays which may happen in case IELTS results are not available
