Hello everyone,


I have a quick question for those who have obtained Canadian citizenship.


I came to Canada through spousal sponsorship PR and did not take any English language tests at that time. I completed my schooling under CBSE in India and also finished my bachelor’s degree in India. While none of my certificates explicitly state that the medium of instruction was English, my Grade 10 and 12 mark sheets list English as a subject (with marks), and all of my educational certificates are issued in English.


Would this be sufficient as proof of language proficiency for the citizenship application?


Thank you in advance for your help.
 
in my opinion it wont , since India does not fall under country where primary language of education is English. It is advisable to give CELPIP / IELTS the requirement for citizenship is very low band 4/5 in sections.
But others may chime in.
 
Hi Siya

I submitted with all my marklists GRADE 10 and 12 showing ENGLISH as a subject and my bachelors degree certificate. I dont know as I havnt received my AOR yet.
I am interested too. Please let us know if you receive AOR using education proof for language instead of a language test.

Hi @saranya21 !! I am also planning to apply citizenship for my wife with 10th 12th and Ug marks memo and she’s also in the same situation. Not given any IELTS / celpip… Please let me know if you got the AOR with just educational documents? Appreciated your help on this matter
 
My application is still in process. Completed the CItizenship test but my language eligibility is in progress.
Thanku for acknowledging. Kindly let me know when your language is marked as completed . That really helps my wife’s application process . Thanks in advance.
 
Congratulations!!
I am also planning to submit my wife’s application with 10th 12th and UG certs. By any chance did you write any explanation letter for language proof ?
Hey my language status is also completed.
@saranya21 did you attached any additional letter for language proof like MOI-medium of instruction from Indian College which states whole study was taught in English ? kindly reply
