I think there is at least one member who has used Academic. His userid is canadastan. PM him if you want.
Have you done IELTS already? if so, how old is it?

@ja77

Did you send your full app to Buffalo ( in case ur applying at Buffalo)? I am just wondering to know how long Buffallo takes to send Medical request....

 

[ja77]

nope, im not a buffalo office applicant. wait for rupesh to answer, as he is i think a buffalo office applicant.

 

[rupeshhari]

Buffalo is sending medical request to Aug/sep 2008 applicants now.

hi rimalM, regarding IELTS i used my academic ielts since i was able to take it. General Ielts i believe is easier than academic. but either way both are still proof for english proficiency. Visa office has accepted my academic ielts and i am done already with my medical examinations.

Just sharing my personal experience.

 

[RimalM]

thanks for the reply... i have academic test result....

Why take chance? Why not take general and get the tension of your head!!

I used academic as well and so far everything is okay. Just make sure that you reached the minimum required band.

 

[AppforCan]

Only general is acceptable for IELTS

After submitting academic did your application proceed further?

I think if CIC says general.. submit general.. Why screw up on the time?

Only general is acceptable for IELTS

That's not true. Read the posts above and you will get the answer.

Hi

Only general is acceptable for IELTS

That's not true. Read the posts above and you will get the answer.

One persons experience. But if it is true why would CIC state:

"Note: IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: General Training and Academic. You must take the General Training option."

But its not my application.

PMM

If you wish to go by rule book, take IELTS general. Its easier and necessary for the purpose.
