How do we send IELTS results electronically to CGFNS?

World International Nursing Q/A

What CGFNS email do we use for IELTS results to be sent electronically to the CGFNS? I'm talking about Applications to Recognising Organisations - the part of the IELTS application we fill in when we take the exam.

Unfortunately, that's the only way CGFNS accepts the English proficiency test results.

Thank you.

IELTS results can be downloaded electronically by authorized organizations, and you don't have to send them via email. Just specify your recipients when you register with IELTS, and IELTS will authorize them to view or download from their database.

As far as I am aware, it has to go directly from the company holding the results if you can't send them, and most should know who to send them to.

Just wonder why the British Council doesn't do things electronically (I think I remember from your previous post that this was a problem). It would save time and postage if they set something up. My understanding, as I haven't had to take an English exam, is you indicate where you want the results sent, and the company sends them to the relevant recipient; they then match your name up with anything they have on file and input the results into your file.

May I ask what the email was? I also have the same problem, and I just sent them my TRF thru their "contact us." I hope they will be swift too because we had the same problem. My IELTS will expire in August 2018.

You're correct. The results go straight from the British Council to the CGFNS. But the question is how all this works in particular. What do we have to do?

The key word is "electronically." It's not that we simply indicate the CGFNS as a recipient - they don't accept hard copies.

Thank you for the answer.

The problem is that I took IELTS in Aug 2008 and didn't indicate the CGFNS as a recipient. However, I did ask the British Council to send a hard copy to the CGFNS. Does it mean that by requesting the BC to send a copy to the CGFNS, I'm authorizing the CGFNS to view the results?

Your IELTS result is about to expire, so hurry up. Contact CGFNS if they already received a copy of your IELTS result. If not, ask IELTS how to include CGFNS as your recipient. Good luck.

Thank you, Daigorot and Silverdragon102, for your willingness to help.

I contacted CGFNS and asked them to accept a hard copy of the results. Instead, the CGFNS representative replied that I might email them my TRF#, and they would update my profile. I did that, and within an hour, I noticed this in my profile:

IELTSAug 09 2008 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 7.5 PASSEDPASSED

I'm so happy!

Glad you have gotten it sorted; however, be aware that if you have to renew your VSC (a possibility with regression), the English exam has to be current, so you may have to sit it again.
