@cutemama hi sis, I checked my IELTS result, wala naman nakalagay na expiration date, however, I saw this in their website:
<i>The IELTS system automatically deactivates IELTS result when it reaches its 2nd year. It is not possible to extend the validity of the IELTS results.</i>
So possible when you enter your test report form number upon lodging, baka hindi na nila ma-pullup ang result?
And if ever din we go with the DIBP website na 3 years valid, since magsisimula ka pa lang mag gather ng documents, pa assess at mag antay ng invitation, it might take some time so I guess better if you get a new exam. Anyway since naka take ka na before, the previous experience would help and get you a chance of getting a higher score, konting refresher nalang đŸ™‚
General Training ang required for PR, however, pagkakaalam ko accepted din ang Academic kasi of a higher degree naman ito (but not the other way, around if you apply for a study visa dapat academic, di tatanggapin ang general training).
