Hi, guys! I have a question. I applied through OINP (International Student Stream) for PR on August 2. I didn't received an AOR yet, but my language test is gonna expire soon. Can it affect my application? Cause I read that it should be valid till I receive my AOR. And what should I do in this situation?
If you are a non-exprees entry applicant applying in a skilled NOC, then you don't need to retake IELTS for the following reasons:
For Skill levels A / B / 0, IELTS is not required for Non-express entry PNP applicants. The nomination letter justifies that you have already met the language requirements of the province.
To be in the safe side, just attach your IELTS certificate that you had sent to the province during the nomination stage. It should be fine even if expired.
It is Clearly mentioned in the checklist (imm5690e) that only skills C and D need the test. If you are applying in a Skill level C or D NOC, then you should retake the test.
If you are an express-entry applicant, then you should retake the test regardless you NOC.
