First of all, my consultant had sent my academic ielts saying that went the update had come they did not mention in thewebsite if a general oracademic ielts is requird. so i sent the academic ielts with my application and a legal paper(no legal declaration needed, they need test result only) saying i will be completing my french A1 and A2 soon with some tentative dates. Allhamdullialh i have passed both my A1 and A2(send the results ASAP-don't worry abt Postage charge). Now, because of my consultancy guys fault i hav to give my general ielts( General IELTS is Ok). im giving it this coming week. so the result for that should maximum take like 2 weeks( After getting the result send it ASAP). in the mean time, i received a letter from the embassy saying they r waiting for my english(ielts) and my french score cards(proof of lang proficiency) and have given me 6 months time..otherwise dey will be "obligated to close my file" *panicking* please tell me whats going on and Inshallah once i gv my ieltsi wil sending out my french and english score cards..by the end of this month... so after that how long do u all think it will take fr me to get a call/intimation for interview?-( Depends on your BIQ) also, is it true that most applicants r exempted from interview( It is false -- Happens either way) if they do upto B1 LEVEL FRENCH???(Not true. B2 can get the advantage, but also depends on total points) and the site currently shows that India is exempted from interviews ..is it true( Completely false) ?

If you passed you cannot take the exam again unless you revoke the certification in writing before to appear for the exam again.  However, if you do the exam and fail you cannot go back...since you revoked the certificate it will remain invalid.  It's kinda like that old saying "A bird in the hand isn't worth two in the bush."  So if you are comfortable do a higher level

New Procedures Announced to Assess Foreign Credential
by David Cohen

On 28 March 2012, Jason Kenney, the Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism, announced major changes to the ways in which foreign skilled workers will have their education credentials assessed before arriving to Canada.

Further details on how this ‘pre-arrival assessment' will be implemented are forthcoming. However, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has stated that “a pre-arrival assessment would let applicants know how their education credentials compare to Canadian credentials and it will give immigrants a sense of how Canadian employers are likely to value their education”. With this knowledge in mind, applicants without sufficient education will be more effectively screened at an earlier stage, and those whose applications are accepted will be better prepared to find work in their field. Of course, applicants who intend to work in regulated professions will need to have their qualifications further assessed before being allowed to enter the Canadian labour force.
 
Minister Kenney stated that “this proposal is part of a broader package of transformational changes that will make Canada's immigration policies work better for the Canadian economy”. These changes have been announced in conjunction with the release of the 2011 Government of Canada Progress Report on Foreign Credential Recognition, Strengthening Canada's Economy, which outlines new efforts by the Canadian Government to better address educational issues in immigration.
