Hello I am currently filling out the federal skilled worker application. It says that I have to do an english test. Do I have to do this test even though my first language is english?

Yes, noone is exempt from the test. You MUST take it before you file an application.

Usually, a week or two to receive results but finding the date to take the test might be a challenge. Also make sure you take the general test and not the academic one.

ok thanks.

There are two, which one did you do and recommend?

CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program

or

IELTS: International English Language Testing System

If you are outside of Canada then only IELTS is an option. CELPIP is not offered outside of Canada.
