MPNP language requirements

[ultra99]

The MPNP requires at least 5 on the IELTS, but I currently have TOEFL ibt score, how would they consider me? Or how would I be able to prove my English proficiency?

You can demonstrate a minimum of 6 points in English or French based on the MPNP language grid and/or a minimum score of 5 on an IELTS exam

Hello ultra99

Excerpt from MPNP website:

The MPNP requires at least 5 on the IELTS, but I currently have TOEFL ibt score, how would they consider me?

Which language tests are accepted?

In accordance with CIC policy, the MPNP will accept only valid, documented results only from the following tests.

You must score at least the numerical value listed for each category (listening, speaking, reading, writing). No other evidence of language proficiency will be accepted.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) General Training
Listening: 4.5 | Reading: 3.5 | Writing: 4 | Speaking: 4
Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP-General)
Listening: 2H | Reading: 2H | Writing : 2H | Speaking : 2H
Test d’Évaluation de Français
la compréhension de l’oral : 145 | la compréhension de l’écrit : 121 | l’expression écrite : 181 | l’expression orale : 181

That only means TOEFL is not accepted anymore.

Or how would I be able to prove my English proficiency?

The minimum language requirement for lower skilled workers affects Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program applicants whose assessed occupation is in Canada National Occupation Classification (NOC) skill level C or D. (Assessed occupation is the job commensurate with your education and experience that the MPNP considers when assessing your application.)

NOC C and D occupations include semi-skilled and low-skilled workers in the trades, primary and manufacturing industries, sales and services, as well as certain clerical and assistant categories.
Level C jobs usually require only secondary school and/or occupation-specific training.
Level D jobs usually require only on-the-job training.
Determine the skill level of your job at the NOC 2011 website.
It is recommended that all MPNP applicants submit test results demonstrating their language proficiency. But for lower skilled applicants, as defined above, the submission of language test results is mandatory, effective immediately, in order to comply with changes made by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

If your occupation is under NOC O,A & B, you can submit Certificates of medium of instruction from school and the mode of communication at workplace but as what is stated in the website it is still recommended to take the IELTS. Nowadays, most of the applicants are required to submit it whatever stream they are under or the NOC they are classified with. It depends on the officer handling your application. My advice is to take the IELTS (General type) to submit along your application package to MPNP.
