Some organizations may even accept both versions of IELTS. If you are unsure of which version to take, you should check with your organization directly to see what version of IELTS they accept.
IELTS General Training
The IELTS General Training test is typically taken by those who wish to move to Canada for work. It is accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s numerous immigration programs, such as Express Entry.

Take your IELTS test on paper or on a computer
Test takers now have the option of sitting their IELTS test on paper or on a computer with British Council. The IELTS test format is exactly the same on the computer as it is in a traditional paper exam. Both tests include the same content and are still completed with a test centre, but the Reading, Writing and Listening sections are just filled out differently. The Speaking section of the test will still be carried out face to face with an examiner. We also provide headphones for listening section for both computer exam and paper exam.
What are the advantages of booking IELTS on computer?
IELTS on computer is available up to three times a day, seven days a week. So, there is much more choice when it comes to finding a test date that suits you.
Your test results also come back much quicker when you take your IELTS test on a computer, usually around 3-5 days. It typically takes around 13 days if you took your IELTS test on paper.
