If possible, get a letter from the University saying that the medium of instruction in which your program was taught was English. That would be perfect.

If you have your old ielts you can submit that( you must have done for PR). Like I said in my previous post if level of education was in English then you can submit your degree certificate.
I submitted my degree certificate and application was accepted, now waiting for oath ceremony.

I have my degree from Pakistan when I moved to Canada I got them verified from IQAS and I attached the same document as a proof of education. I just submitted the application last week so I am not too sure if that is acceptable. Hoping for the best.

Hello every one. I have two issues regarding citizenship.

01) English requirement: I have expired 5 year old Ielts. If it is accepted. Can I send copy of it? Is it important to certify that copy from notary public? I have also university letter as well. In both situation can I send a just copy of letters without notarized copy of degree and ielts etc??

02) Police certificate. I landed in canada 23 July 2016 and went back to back home and stayed out of Canada from 29 Oct 2017 to 23 April 2018. As per calculation of out side days , it ll be 2 days ( Oct 2017) + 30 days ( Nov 2017) + 31 days ( Dec 2017) + 31 days (Jan 2018) + 28 days ( Feb 2018) + 31 days ( Mar 2018) + 21 days ( April 2018) = 174 days (total out of canada). So still I am less than 183 days. I believe I donot need the police verification for such period. But I am also worried another period which is before 1st landing and coming to Canada.

Actually they require police verification in last 4 years. So my 1st day of last 4 year is Jan 15th 2016 but I landed July 23rd 2016. If I calculate the days from 15 Jan 2016 to 23 July 2016 then it will be 189 days which is greater than 183 days . As per my calculation I need police verification for such period. Will they add 1st and last period . If they add 1st and last period then it will 300 plus days..

Please suggest guide and comment plz for such situations.

Hi, can you please confirm if your degree certificate specify that language of instruction was english. I have MBA from Indian institute of finance, certificate is in english, I am not sure if I can use it as language proof. Certificate doe not specify language of instruction is english.

I know I am replying to an older post, but for everyone's information, you can send your IELTS certificate (general) copy as your english language proof. I have passed IELTS in 2003, and applied for citizenship in 2019. I sent my IELTS cert copy and it was accepted. I have completed the process.
