In the CIC Help Centre, regarding language proof and post-secondary degree/transcripts, it states:

You may send a transcript, diploma or certificate showing that you graduated from a secondary school or from a post-secondary program in Canada or abroad. These materials must show that the program was in English or French.

I'm not quite sure how to interpret "the materials must show that the program was in English..". I have contacted the UK university from which I graduated and they do not/will not explicitly state on any transcripts/certificates that the program was delivered in English, as the university is UK-based and all programs are delivered in English! Is the fact that the documentation is in English and from a UK-based institution sufficient to "show that the program was in English"?

The Gather Documents section in the Instruction Guide for the Citizenship application seems to be a bit more "relaxed" in the requirement only stating:

Proof of completion of secondary or post-secondary education in French or English includes:
A diploma or certificate from a secondary or post-secondary school indicating successful graduation, in Canada or abroad.


Any pointers or previous experience with this will be much appreciated.
Thanks

You can print the description of your degree on the website. This could be helpful.
 
Just send a photocopy of your diploma. Nothing else is needed. I am speaking from my own experience.

I would not worry about this too much and rather just take the CELPIP test. For native english speakers this is a really easy and simple solution. This is also guaranteed to resolve any questions about language ability.

Good luck :)
