Hi,

I am a non-native speaker of English and I have been told that I have to do IELTS to
claim points for English proficiency.

When should one do IELTS to claim 20 points ?

Should he do it before lodging the application and attach the result sheet to the
application ?

Or does the AHC request for IELTS as the application progresses ? (like medicals)

Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks Ranga

You have to do IELTS before you apply you should submit your application together with your skill assesment. btw are you from sri lanka?

Hi dtmig,

Thanks for the info, I was planing to send in my TOEFL resultsheet as the proof for
English Proficiency, but it seems that only IELTS is recognised by the AHC.

Yes, I am from Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Hi Ranga,

You most certainly do not need to do your IELTS test before you apply for skilled
migration, although for most non-native English speakers it is a sensible precaution,
if only because it gives you the chance to do the test again if you don't do well
enough the first time.

cheers
