关于雅斯考试与递交申请先后顺序的问题
通过CIC网站内部搜索,关于雅思IELTS的搜索有五个条目。
引用CIC(加拿大移民局 citizenship and immigration Canada)官方网站的两段标准说明如下。

第一段:
Skilled workers and professionals: Who can apply―Selection factors
Official language testing
The best way to provide proof of language skills is to take a language proficiency test given by an organization that is approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). If you do so, you will be able to see exactly how many points you will receive for the language factor according to your test results.
You must
Make arrangements for testing by an approved organization. You will have to pay the costs.
Include the results of your test with your immigration application.
What happens next
You can use the equivalency charts to see exactly how many points you will earn based on your test results.
The test results will be used by CIC as conclusive proof of your language skills.
You can use language test results for one year from the time you took the test.

第二段:
Frequently asked questions:
Skilled workers and professionals
Simplified application process
I have just taken a language proficiency test at a designated organization (such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) or the Test d’évaluation de français (TEF)). Can I submit the results now?
If you apply under the simplified application process, the visa office will not accept any supporting documents. If you submit documents with your application, they will be returned to you.
Submit your language test results with your other supporting documents. The visa office will contact you to request these documents about four months before your application is processed.
If you take the language test within one year of submitting your simplified application, the results remain valid and will be accepted as supporting documentation by the visa office.

关于雅斯考试与递交申请先后顺序的问题,网上流传几种观点。一种是先考雅斯取得成绩后在一年内递交递交申请;一种是先寄申请排队,然后在合适的时候考雅斯。
由于新法下还没有出现有代表性的案例支持任何一种观点,所以现在无法判断哪一种说法正确。所有猜测基于CIC网站的少量文字和旧法对于雅思考试时间要求的惯例。
请大家注意以上原文中红色文字部分,第一段中的意思是移民局一贯的说法,即雅思成绩一年内有效。当然,这个句子里没有明确说前后顺序的问题,一年内---可以是前也可以是后。
但是,英文与中文语法的区别在这里体现出来,后面用took相信大家都明白,是过去时态,我的理解是,考雅思在前而递交申请在后。You can do it after you arrived there.
第二段中的红字部分,基本上表述的还是同一个意思,即雅思成绩一年内有效。不过这里表述更加模糊,within 这个单词同样没有先后的概念。但是这个句子明确指出了判断材料有效期的关键时间点是在
submitting your simplified application的时候,而不是你的申请开始被评审的时候。那就是说,某些人流传的雅思成绩随时可以考,只要最后拿到需要的分数就可以的说法是不正确的。至少在时间上是受递交申请前后一年这个限制的。
大部分移民家庭学历结构为两个本科或者一本一专,亲属和教育加分只属于少数幸运儿。这就是说,大部分筒子至少需要一个或者两个七分,这个目标绝对不是可以轻松达到的,尤其是工作多年有家庭的朋友,千万不要抱着也许没问题的心态面对。过去的四六级的水平不能作为雅思成绩预测依据,这是两个不同的系统。
如果VO严格执行移民标准,会造成大批申请者在耗费大量心血和金钱后一无所获。有时候知难而退也是一种明智的选择,先考雅思至少可以给自己一个量化的目标。
大家对于来自中介的信息要抱有警惕的心理。中介作为商家,希望客户the more the better,很多不确定的事中介都会强调好的一面,尤其是某些无良的半吊子水平中介,为了尽早收钱入袋恨不得把胸脯拍肿。如果大家抱有侥幸心理,很容易接受对自己有利的一面而忽视不利的因素而盲目做出决定,这就是人性的弱点啊.扯远了......
最后小结一下,虽然分析了很多,但总感觉移民局自己在这个问题上也不是很明确,所以在文字上留下了模糊的表述,和商场宣传单上保留最终解释权差不多,大家看着办吧。
