Hello there,

I need to write IELTS for my immigration. I'm gonna be applying under Canadian Experience Class (CEC) where it describes IELTS required but 'General only'. I was wondering if it would be ok if I give Academic one?

I wanted to give Academic instead of General, even though its a bit tough but it could help me out as I'm planning to take some courses next year and they require academic for study purposes.

Any idea if it would be ok???

Please advise. Thanks!

Academic IELTS results are only valid if you apply for CEC before June 26th, 2010. So to answer your question, NO, you need to take General Training IELTS for Canadian Immigration

Agreed. Only general IELTS is accepted. If you submit academic - it's an automatic refusal.

Hi Peaceful,

You should go for General test. There were few applicants in this forum whose application was rejected because of providing Academic Test.

Thanks!!!
