I have many friends who got their MPNP and I have observed that there's no specific pattern of assessment. For instance, one of my friend Status changed to assessment in 2 days after it changed to assessment in the process, whereas for another friend, it was more than 2 weeks. One of my friends got an interview call, whereas the other did not and both did not have any connection with any other provinces in Canada. I wonder what kind of people work at the office.
I have a NOC B job and their website says that Ielts is not required for NOC 0, A or B. However, I still had my old Ielts score valid when I applied but got expired last month. I called their office who said that I have to retake the exam. Fortunately, I checked their website and figured out that IELTS isn't a requirement for NOC 0, A and B jobs. I am really disappointed at the unprofessionalism and I believe they can do much better.
