Hello, I have a question about the language test of PNP.
I have been nominated by MPNP under General Stream (finished post-secondary education in Canada). But I noticed that in the checklist of permanent resident visa application package, a copy of language test result is required. It says that

Quote
Effective 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 language proficiency meets 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:

entered Canada on or before July 1, 2012, and
are nominated by an employer under the PNP streams by July 1, 2013.

Am I affected by the new policy? My letter of approval says I am in NOC214, employability as Computer Engineer. MPNP does not need my language test result, because I graduated from a Canadian University. Will the federal immigration office asks for language test result?

Thanks in advance!
 
I would say 'No', did you hear otherwise as I am in a similar situation as you.
