Your documents must be valid on the day you submit your profile and when you apply after an ITA. Language tests are valid for two years, and ECA reports for five years from their issue date. If your test expires while you're in the pool, your profile can become ineligible — so if your results are ageing, book a retake well before expiry and update your profile with the new scores. Set a reminder; many people lose time to this.
