You need Passport for IELTS exam, they didn't allow you to sit in exam without passport.

Do one thing, Go to DMV and change your drivers licence or make a new ID for you and your wife then submit your documents to SF consulate. The ID will come within 3 to 4 days, then carry phone bill and other evidence like visa stamp/H1 etc.

Its funny to note how the consulates of 1 country operate in different ways, well I got my PCC in Indian consulate Chicago, they just verified all documents before accepting the request and asked me to bring my Passport back after 60 days and get the letter, I took my Passport along with the fee receipt on the 60th day and got my PCC and also a stamp on the passport mentioning PCC was issued for Canada imigration purpose.
