Provincial nominees

Starting July 1, 2012 - most Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants to semi- or low-skilled professions will need language testing. This test will show whether your skills meet a minimum standard in each of these four categories: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

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.
