I applied for Study permit on 7th March, 2020. I'm done with biometrics and medical check-up. The thing is my IELTS score is valid only till 23rd of June. I had earlier planned to give another IELTS exam so that I will have a valid score for the next two years but owing to the current lock-down situation ensued by covid crisis, I don't think I will be able to give another IELTS test anytime soon. Can my application get rejected because of expiration of IELTS score?

Further details,
I applied from India through general scheme.

I assume If your case is being processed after 23rd June, then it might be an issue. Mostly college would prefer IELTS score validity, not visa officer.

Keep in mind, your score should valid till college registration(not admission) .. I mean college starting day 1

What do you think is the best course of action I can take right now? Do you think I should contact IRCC through web form regarding this? I'm not sure if I'll be able to give the exam in June since there are strict lock downs in place and even if it's going to loosen a bit, I don't think IELTS exams will start happening anytime soon.

I also applied on 11 March,2020 but my ielts expired on 24 may,2020.
according to IRCC, IELTS should be valid before applying, it would not be a issue it expires while they are processing.
