Hi,

IELTS
Buffalo visa office specific instruction says "Language test results must not be older than one year upon submission". I took IELTS on June 2007 and those test results are valid for 2 years which would expire in coming June. Can I apply with my current test results or do I need to take test once again?

PCC
I have a PCC from India obtained in 2008 Nov. Buffalo instruction says PCC should be obtained within the prior 3 months from the date of submission of application. Would they accept my PCC obtained in 2008 Nov?

Basic question is, is the Buffalo office very much strict about all these dates?

Thanks,
Sandiego

i have head of cases where someone gave a slightly older PCC but they hadn't been in the country for years, so it was accepted but that was for CSQ.

IELTS by itself is valid for 2 years. But CIC want IELTS results younger than one year. Its like food with expiry date. Some people won't eat certain foods if its older than a certain period, even if the expiry date hadn't come around yet.

Please don't expect me to answer if your post title has urgent in it and it is not really urgent. Urgent is 911 or you have a definite deadline tomorrow, not that you would like to send in the application soon

 How long is my police clearance certificate valid?

Your police clearance certificate is valid for a period of one year from the date it was issued.  If the validity has expired before your visa is issued you will be requested to provide an updated police certificate from the country you are currently living in.  If you have already submitted police certificates from other countries where you have not recently lived you will not have to provide an update.


 How long is my International English Language Test (IELTS) valid for?

For the purpose of Immigration evaluation the test is valid for a period of one year only.

Thats a good post Bobby. This means I need to get new US PCC if I get through this round.

Maybe/Maybe not, but most likely.
