Hello everyone!
I have just been nominated by BCPNP under the post-graduate category with NOC 9914. I'm about to send a paper based application for PR, but I'm not sure if I need to send language test results with it. I have called CIC a few times, and got mixed answers.
The application checklist says the following about language test results:
"Proof of Language Proficiency
Since July 1, 2012, most applicants to Provincial/Territorial Nominee classes in semi or low-skilled professions that fall under National Occupation Classification (NOC) skill level C and D are required to complete a language proficiency test from one of the following designated agencies:
• IELTS (General Training test only),
• CELPIP (General test only), and/or
• TEF.
You must include a copy of your language test results with your application to CIC."
But my NOC code is "N/A 9914" to be exact, which does not belong to any skill level in particular. I understand that since NOC code is "not applicable" to my case, I cannot be considered skill level C or D and hence I shouldn't have to send IELTS scores with my application. But I cannot be sure, I would hate to have my PR application delayed or returned for trying to save a few dollars on an English exam. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do?
Cheers!
