Hello guys,

I am nominated under PhD stream. For the federal level do I need to provide language test result. The PhD stream of OPNP does not ask for IELTS, so do I have to take the test now?

Does anyone have the same situation as me?

Thank you guys, I really need your help.

Hi,

I also applied for OINP under PhD stream. I got my certification of nomination few days ago. I do not have an english language test results like you. I consulted with a couple of applicants with the same situation and they told me we do not need to submit an english language test results. Another person also has applied without that and got a file number which means his application was assessed to be complete. I also called CIC a couple of days ago and asked about it, I reminded them of this statement in their website and checklist:

"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."

The agent also told me we do not need to submit an english language results with our application. I am going to submit my application without that.

My application is Approved...Submitted on Feb 25th under Master's stream. Today my status was changed to approved.
 
Hello all,

What should one choose, if he has both the options, OINP approval and ITA. Should one apply through OINP or EE ?

Suggesstions are appreciated.
