Hello dear friend,
If you have already received Student Visa for Canada, I assume that you already have the IELTS Score card in the past when you applied for the Visa.
Once you get the Student Visa stamped on your passport and if your IELTS is expired, you are not required to give the IELTS again.
To illustrate, you have applied for September 2023 Intake in Canada. You had your IELTS valid in the month of May 2023, when you applied for the Student Visa. You have already got the Visa approved in the Month of July 2023 and now you are flying in August 2023, you will not need to have your IELTS valid as your passport is already stamped and you have a valid Student Permit.
Having said that, if you are applying for a Canada Student Permit for Sept 2023 intake in the month of May 2023, and your IELTS is expired, you will definitely be required to appear for your IELTS exam again before you file your Student Visa.
Also, IELTS proficiency test is only for those who are applying for Student Visa, Work Permit, PR, PNP, Business Investment Visa or Start up Visa and not for Visitors. Also, if you are from an English speaking country like England, USA or from any European country, you do not require any English proficiency test results.
