No, you cannot submit your APS application by October if you plan to take the IELTS in November or December. The APS certificate requires you to have completed all language proficiency requirements, including your IELTS results, before applying.

To keep your application on track for your preferred intake, you should take the IELTS exam before October. Delaying the IELTS will postpone your APS application and university admission process.
