Ah, I see for NB the province is Manitoba, in that case do contact them as soon as possible, they stand the most chance of being able to help.

Sorry @the super king, I should have said to contact Saskatchewan as soon as possible, not Manitoba, I assumed that as LVO quoted Manitoba in their email that you must be a Manitoba nominee. We were told that any issues at all we should contact our province as they would help us as best they could.

Also, if your reply has come from LVO, then your visa office is London, not NDVO. Are you currently residing in the UK?

Brother thank you for your reply, I recently got nominated from SINP under OID category. I am indian resident currently in my home country only, Yesterday only i applied to CIO. The thread i forwarded here is Mr. Naeem Badil's who got this email from LVO.

No worries, apologies again, the perils of typing with a toddler trying to grab the laptop!

Nadim, really do contact Manitoba asap, they may be able to intervene, get you more time or at the very least offer advice. Hope you get it sorted.

Naeem sorry, autocorrect was to blame this time!

@Aracticbean What you say with other Visa offices except LVO

 

[arsal385]

That isn't the case, our PNP officer from our nominating province told us categorically that PNP applicants still have to meet the EE and FSW IELTS scores as they are the over arching CIC national PR requirements.

Do you have this writing? if this is the case then why SINP and other PNP programmes still give nominations on low IELTS score like CLB level 4/5.

Remember there are two types of PNPs. one through EE which certainly needs to follow a minimum 6 band in each module requirement and other is PNP through paper based application like SINP OID which is a bit relaxed in in terms of IELTS requirements.
However, the bottom line is IELTS score is reliant on your NOC level specially for paper based applications.

i am currently residing in a pakistan.

I am also based in Pakistan and unfortunately due to sluggish performance of visa processing at Islamabad Visa Office, all of Pakistani based immigrant files had been transferred to LVO few years ago.

@ the super king, sorry what do you mean? My application is with the LVO at the moment.

@ naaem, yes I know, there are many streams but we were told that no matter which stream you still had to meet federal requirements set by CIC as they final decision is theirs. No, I don't have it in writing, although I am sure I have read it somewhere too. That was the reason I suggested you contact Manitoba asap, if they have accepted you they may be able to get the LVO to accept your updated scores and they may be able to shed some light on it.

It is rubbish though, if you are accepted by a province and they have checked your documents, that ought to mean that the visa office accepts you, sadly that doesn't always seem to be the case.

@ The Super King, I'm not sure if posting this will work, but here are the skills levels needed for your NOC

http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/es_search-eng.do?source=2&titleKeyword=2281+&action=Search

If the link doesn't work, go to the JOb Bank website, the click on the second blue tab at the top, called Explore Careers, then select By Skills and Knowledge. On the page that comes up, on the right hand side of the page are boxes with green headings, in the second one down it says Essential Skills, and you can enter your NOC number and then click search. It brings up all of the skill headings which you can then click on for more information.

See link here for your NOC 2281. You can check each skills like reading, writing and oral communication. They mentioned it in a scale 1-5. with 1 basic, 2 modest, 3 intermediate, 4 competent and 5 advance.

http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/es_search-eng.do?source=2&titleKeyword=network+administrator&action=Search&noc=2281
Based on your NOC;
Reading skills are leading to level 4 which is in the range of advance and you only have 4.5 band in IELTS which is considered as Basic to modest.
Writing skills are also also going up to level 4 and you scored 5.5 which marginally seems to be OK.
Oral skills require level up to 3 and you scored 6 and 5.5 in speaking and listening so you are fine here.

This website is basically a benchmark for Visa Officer to check your language skills against your NOC skills requirements.

If you see Naeem's Procedural Fairness Letter which he received from LVO. LVO replicated the same skills as per his NOC from this website and compared them against his IELTS score he submitted earlier.
