You have to send the application with the IELTS exam result.

Now, it doesn't matter if you have taken the IELTS yet or not. When they ask you to go ahead and submit the documents to the nearest CIC office then only you have to provide the IELTS result. So, it means you can send the application with the IELTS but you will need it after you get a reply from Sydney, NC & you are asked to submit docs.

In the application where it asks if you have got english proficiency test results there you have to mention "No".

Hope this helps.

Can anybody confirm IELTS's result validity under new rules? In the previous rule, it was mentioned that IELTS must be taken within one year of submitting your simplified application. However, I don't find this written anywhere under the new rules. My IELTS result will expire in Oct 2009 and I am not sure if I can use it.

Under new lules, IELTS results cannot be older than ONE year when you submit your application.
