TRACK SHEET QUESTION:

how did you guys know that your "medicals were received in the visa office?" I mean, i know mine reached Ottawa because i kept the tracking number, but i don't have a clue if my visa office has already received my medicals. Do visa offices send emails to inform you that they have already received your medicals?

You need to use your UID (from your AOR) to check your status on ecas, if they have recd your MR then it should update on ecas within 2-3 weeks or so.

On April 11, 2012, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced changes to Canada's Provincial Nominee Programs (“PNPs”). As of July 1, 2012, most PNP applicants for semi-skilled and low-skilled professions will have to undergo mandatory language testing of their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities and meet a minimum standard across all four of these categories before they can qualify for a nomination certificate.
PNPs are established under Section 87(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (“IRPR”). A PNP is similar but distinct from the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, which is established under IRPR 86(1). Both the Quebec Skilled Worker Program and the PNPs offer the provinces an opportunity to select immigrants based on their specific needs.
Under a PNP, individuals nominated by the province, together with their spouse and dependent children, are eligible to apply for Canadian permanent residence through CIC under the Provincial Nominee Class. CIC will also give priority to processing permanent resident visa applications filed by provincial nominees. Given the considerable delays encountered by many Canadian permanent residence applicants, this priority processing makes immigration under a PNP program desirable.
Under the Provincial Nominee Class, each province establishes its own selection criteria. Applicants who wish to immigrate to a specific province as a provincial nominee, must first apply to the province where they wish to settle. The province will consider the application based on their immigration needs and the applicant's intention to settle there. If the applicant is approved, he or she will be given a provincial nomination certificate, which may be used to support an application for permanent residence.
Although there has been a trend to require mandatory language testing for federal economic immigrants, PNP programs have not yet imposed mandatory language testing on all PNP applicants. However, Minister Kenney's announcement makes clear that language testing will be imposed, at least on semi-skilled and low-skilled PNP applicants, commencing on July 1, 2012.

May be someone did not read it yet

guys, Do we have to provide IELTS exam if our apllication already submitted to CIC?

Well it says commencing on July 1, 2012 for semi-skilled and low-skilled.....So I don't think we need to submit IELTS

It is for semi skilled and low skilled just like labour jobs,skilled worker must submit the IELTS.

That is not true. Under pnp general (economic class) there is no requirement for IELTS. May be am missing something here
