If your Noc falls under NOC or TEER 0, A and B , then you don’t need language requirement. It’s only required for C and D.I think we should ask @Miss bee
According to my GCMS note, there is a Lock-In Date(exactly the day I applied to OINP for nomination)
What I know is from the Lock-In Date, everything about eligibility for the oinp stream remains firm.
So what i’m thinking is, you may not need to take another one.
Maybe, I said maybe, you are able to submit the current one and write an explanation letter to tell officer it expires right after you got nominated.
All Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants in a TEER 4 and 5 occupation of the National Occupational Classification system (NOC) are required to undergo mandatory language testing (with the exception of nominees under New Brunswick’s Critical Worker Pilot) and must achieve a minimum standard of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 4 in each of the 4 abilities (listening, speaking, reading and writing) before obtaining a provincial nomination certificate.
Applicants in a TEER 4 and 5 occupation of the NOC are also required to include a copy of their language test results when submitting their non-Express Entry PNP application for permanent residence through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Permanent Residence Portal.
