Hi, everyone!

I just have a question for the seniors here...and to those who could share some insights on this:

My IELTS will expire on Feb 2011 and I plan to take it again since I tentatively plan to land by April or May 2011 yet, if ever I'd be given the visa. Would it be advisable for me to take the Academic Module this time or take the General Training Module again?

Thanks a lot in advance sa mga magre-response. ;)
I have a friend who landed there last april and shes a nurse, now shes reviewing for an academic IELTS, she told me that its a bit more pricy there so her advise to me is to do the academic IELTS here.

hello po everyone.. ask lang po ako..

1. im currently pregnant po kasi and my due is on december pa, do i need to wait for december before i submit documents to manila vo? para mainclude ung baby ko sa application, i believe kelangan ata ng bc from nso?

2. and un pu bang mga tor, diploma, prc eh kelangan na ka red ribbon and updated na din ung surname if married na??..

3. panu pu kung ung company ko eh wala naman seal and email or website, okay lang pu ba yun?

pls help naman po.. thank u po ;)

hi andreavonn! :) my tor and diploma still used my maiden name, didn't change it coz the NSO marriage certificate is enough proof that you are married. and no red ribbon too. a letter head will do for companies with no seal. however, the contact numbers and complete address should be included in the letter head. :)

mimi,
I took the GT module last Feb 2010. I was asking if employers in Canada would still require IELTS, so if ever, I'd have to retake it here before I land. :)

Thanks!

Hindi po sila nagrerequire ng IELTS.. Canadian experience po usually ang hinihingi nila pati yung SIN (ito yung Social Security number)

mimi and silver,

ielts is only required for nurses who wants to be registered in canada and that is, academic module..but for those who are not nurses, ielts is no longer a requirement in employment, THOUGH some may require or i think employers has their own way of assessing applicants with regards to language proficiency

do they accept multiple academic ielts results, for example if your august ielts speaking is below 7 and 7 in other subtests, and if i retake it this December and get 7 on speaking but below 7 on writing only, for example, would they accept these academic IELTS results for nurse applicants?

sorry, am not sure about this one...i believe one time result is what they want...as what i have learned, only new zealand accepts kind of results, but in canada i dont think so...in manitoba, they only want 6.5 over all band with bands 7 in both speaking and writing...


but let's hear from others too...

i submitted my TOR to CIO and not VO Manila. What do you mean "naka-address". i submitted a certified true copy of my TOR directly to the CIO together with other documents.
