IELTS on Family Class Sponsorship..

[witchkid]

does IELTS still a requirement even though we have a sponsor in Canada? we are planning to apply for a family class sponsorship early next year.  I have a colleague migrated to  Canada last year and she doesn't undergo IELTS test.  She just submitted a certificate of English Proficiency.

answer me please..thanks..

If you are being sponsored by a close Canadian relative or a spouse under family class, you do not need IELTS.

What program is he sponsoring you under?  MBPNP or SINP?  When you know that, go to the website of that program and look up the requirements yourself.

hi leon.. i just got confused with your answer.. if you are applying under family class sponsorhip,, you will still fall under SINP? i thought SINP and family class are not the same? because in form,, you will choose family class sponsorship or economic class which includes the sinp.. so i guess they're different..

i guess you've heard the sad news,, SINP made changes on the requirements of eligibility.. they require now job offer.. which is so impossible to have.. even skilled worker finds hard to find an employer so how can we.. so we decided to apply for family class sponsorship.. i'm still studying their requirements,, and by the time we've gather all the forms and documents needed.. then we'll submit it..

If you read the post I was replying to there, it is from somebody who is being sponsored by a cousin, also referring to friends who were sponsored by brothers or aunts.  The only programs where you can be sponsored by your cousin, brother or aunt is family stream PNP in SK or MB.

If you are being sponsored under family stream as a spouse or a dependent child, different rules apply.
