If your application was valid till the application submitted date, then no need to worry, they wont ask for new certificate. I have conformed this with local consultant in my country.

Extract from application guide of sinp
Language Credentials
To meet the language requirement you must provide language test results from a designated
testing agency. You must have English and/or French language ability of Canadian
Language Benchmark (CLB) 4 or higher. Your test results cannot be more than two years
old at the time of application. CLB 4 is the minimum; employers and regulatory bodies may
require higher language scores.
No, I am not agree with you guys!
If you read "All SINP application applied in 2011 tracker" topic, you can see because SINP delayed processing 2011 family stream applicants for about 26 months, applicant's IELTS that was valid in the time of apply, expired after 26 months and these days SINP is asking for IELTS result update!
Another thing is, SINP is not the final step in PNP program! If SINP don't ask for your new IELTS result and accept it that would not be happened , After nomination, you must send your application to CIC and your main application will start at CIC, not in SINP! If you check CIC provincial checklist then you can see they need a valid Ielts result.
There was a case a teacher got nomination from SINP with IELTS score under 7, and everything was fine at the time of nomination but when applied in CIC with nomination letter then CIC asked for IELTS result with score 7! because CIC is the final decision maker not SINP.
@Nepali: But about your consultant's view, I think it is true in FSW applications. When you apply and send your application to CIO, they will assess and send your application to your visa office. after assessment is done and sending your application to your visa office, it is not important anymore if your local visa office delay processing your application and they won't ask for a new IELTS result anymore.
I strongly recommend to those guys who are waiting for their nominations, If your IELTS result is expired then go and get a new one because they will ask it very soon!
