Look at this way, your IELTs can not be older than 2 years on the day you apply.

Hi PMM,

I submitted an application last July 2011, However due to insufficient points my application was refused. I learned that we are permitted to submit a copy of our language test result provided that it must be accompanied by the photocopy of the refusal letter and an explanation that the CIC retained and currently holds the original.

Quoting Document Checklist for Permanent Residence - Federal Skilled Worker Class, No.9:

"Note: Language Test result must not be older than two years upon date of receipt at the CIO."

I took the IELTS GT Module last November 20, 2010, my language test result will expire this coming November 2012. Does this mean that I can still submit this test result and my application will be qued for assessment and later be placed into processing since the application met the ministerial instructions? And that, our visa office will still continue to process the permanent residence application even though the the test result had already expired?

please help me. I am so confused.

your result is valid till September  2012 and I think  is better to wait for new regulation after 1 July 2012
