I am going to file citizenship and i am little confused about some questions please advise.

1 Can i use my old IELTS GENERAL certificate and I also have Bachelor's as well as post grad ECA. If i submit both photocopies do I still have to go through English test?

2. A lot of people have been asked about fingerprints can I do this upfront or I have to wait for them to ask. I did submit 1 at the time of PR will they consider that one.

Thank you

yes you can submit old IELTS results. You cannot send the academic IELTS.

Fingerprints are not asked off everybody. You cannot get it done ahead of time - you have to wait for the request letter from CIC.

Educational Credential Assessment. I'm not sure if this is required as long as your diploma, certificate or transcripts earned outside Canada are in English or French.

As you did IELTS for PR application and original was submitted to CIC in 2013, therefore you can just send the copy of old IELTS results. No need to send any educational document to satisfy language requirement.

As long as you have done IELTS general and even it has expired, just send the copy of that as long as you meet the following criteria:

International English Language Testing System (IELTS), general training, not the academic version You must have a score of:
  • 4.0 or higher in speaking and
  • 4.5 or higher in listening. (Note: If the test was done before November 28, 2008, we will accept a level 4 or higher)

If you want to send your ECA etc, it's additional info and it may or may not help and is not really required if you are sending your IELTS result already as IELTS result suffice the need
