Hello,

Question 1: I'm unclear whether a language test is required for the Humanitarian pathway 5991 and if so, what is the passing score?
Question 2: If the applicant has degrees and work history to show. Do these documents need to be certified and translated? Asking because since this is not part of the application itself, i.e. it's not for Skilled worker entry, I'm not sure if these are required to show.

Thank you in advance

Neither, you don’t need to show anything related to language or degrees. Should just submit what they require as quickly as possible.
