Hi, I am currently a PhD student in Canada.
My Academic IELTS score are, Writing (7), Reading (7), Listening (7) and Speaking (6), but the test results are from Jan 2010.
My master program in Sweden was completely taught in English and it is stated in the official letter form the university and my transcripts. I also worked for one year in the United States.
Considering all aforementioned points, do I still have to retake IELTS or my previous and current statues is sufficient and valid for proof of language proficiency under Express Entry Scheme?
Thanks.

Hi

Yes, you must still re-take the test. Your previous results are too old and it doesn't matter where you have lived or what language you studied in. There are no exceptions to this.
