hey guys, '

check out this link on cic website I just found

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/index.asp

although it says most PNP applicants post july 1, 2012 need to take IELTS exam, it also says it does not apply if we enter canada before 1st july, so if thats the case, although we already sent our applications and if we get PRV after july 1, should we do an IELTS exam before landing?? Im confused.. any thoughts guys?? cheers

I highly doubt that cause its for applicants who will apply post july 1,2012.

i kinda figured the same .. but then .. they also mentioned people who enter canada post 1st july as wel.. considering our timelines, um sure most of us will be landing post july.. I mean .. i just want to confirm coz I dont wanna have any issues later thats all .. anyways .. lets see .. if they require, im sure they will request for when in process.. just wondering if i need to take em .. i had given ielts back in 2007 before i went to study in NZ.. but i think its expired.. not that d test is a big deal anyway.. but still it takes time .. so dont wanna delay the application process..

then it shouldnt be a problem.. u should be alright .. i studied in Australia and New Zealand, so I had course completion letters from both universities which stated that the course was taught in english and same goes with my bachelors degree, I got a letter from the University stating that the course was taught in english, at the time that was enough..

you applied under MPNP family stream right? so IELTS was not a must, so how come you gave it though? not that its a bad thing, it turned out well afterall.. :)

its actually this way:

This does not apply if you are a temporary foreign worker in a NOC C & D occupation, and who:
- enter Canada on or before July 1, 2012, and
- are nominated by an employer under the PNP streams by July 1, 2013.



Manu, lets just all pray we receive some movement on our MR in next couple of weeks! :) My employer needs me their now.

You guys just worry too much. This new requirement only applies for the NEW PNP applicants and, on the top of that, only PNP offices will decide to follow that rule or not. For all of us having got PNP nomination already, this new rule DOES NOT apply. relax.

I agree....Relax guys and congrats to everyone who received MR or AOR
 
I thought all provinces already ask for IELTS.

I had to take one before I was nominated lol... It was waste of time and money tho.

But also it is for NOC C & D type applicants only... (maybe it was not a requirement for them before)
