I know from CIC website that i can use my old IELTS results, that used for immigration purposes toward citizenship language requirements.
The issue that i don't have the original results transcript, i have only a photocopy of the results dated in 2010 (7 overall score).
I called CIC call centre and asked if they accept a photocopy of the results and not the original score report, and the agent told me that he doesn't know!!

I would appreciate the experience of anyone who submitted a photocopy of an old IELTS results and got accepted toward citizenship language requirement.

Thanks for the reply...
Did you have the same experience? Did you supply the copy and got accepted?

I think it's ok to use a copy of an old IELTS report for citizenship application, because people in CIC know that all those who immigrated to Canada and used IELTS as a proof of language proficiency, have sent their original report along with the immigration application and CIC can verify the copy by accessing the immigration file. :)

I provided a copy of my OLD IELTS that I took in Feb 2011. It was accepted and I got my citizenship. DO not worry about it :)

I took TOEFL in 2002 and I have a good score. Can I use that?
I don't believe it is not on the list of accepted score, so, No, but you should go to CIC website to double check.
