When I recall the test this is where I stumbled I think. For questions with multiple options, I was reading through the options to pick the correct one...and then I missed parts of the conversation to answer the next question. I fell bit behind and couldn't recover for one section. I know I...

Thanks. My reading was actually 8.5 (it was a typo on my original post). I fell short in listening by 0.5. Thanks for the tips. It is a bummer that I need to take the whole test again. The answer to this question is probably no, but if I submit multiple tests do they take highest score for each...

How hard is it to crack 8.0 on listening? That 0.5 is between me and the ITA. Appreciate any suggestions. I took the first test without much practice. I need to improve my "game day" performance.

Thanks! Yes, I think I need to concentrate more during listening. I had trouble during the conversation part...where those two bastards where going back and forth on the options and I couldn't catch the answers on time. It was bit hard for me to focus on the answers and also listen for...

Newbie here. How will opening of OINP affect express entry cut-offs? Do they lower them or raise them?

Friends, I am trying to register for IELTS at a US Location. I am seeing that no dates in Feb are available and first available date is towards the end of March. I also see that I can register up until couple of days before for that test. Any thoughts on how demand is for the slots and is it...

Any thoughts on where the score might be in June/July time frame? I will be submitting my profile with CRS between 445 - 453. Will scores start going up at some point later in the year?

The main problem for foreign doctors in Canada is getting into residency programs. However, this is the case where residency is already done where some reciprocal agreements between Canada and US exist. I was looking for information who went through the process and has similar credentials.

Thanks. My question is more about licensing path once getting PR.

Thanks. I am not a native speaker par se, but have been living US for more than a decade. I guess there is only one way to find out!

Friends, Can someone share their opinion on how easy/difficult it is get a medical license for a US trained physician (i.e. residency in US)? Medical degree is from India. I found the licensing process to be quite confusing as it varies by state. Is is possible to get Canadian license without...
