Does the degree of transcript mentions that the medium of instruction was english?

The transcript is in English. We have a letter from her university confirming that her medium of education was English, yes.

My wife got a Request for Supplementary Evidence email from IRCC today. They are asking for 2 things -
1. Valid piece of Canadian Govt issued Photo ID
2. Accepted Language Evidence

We made the mistake of uploading a letter from her Uni stating that she completed her degree in English. We should have uploaded a copy of her transcript and degree certificate.

Will do so now.

ON the bright side - I am glad they are working on our file

Update - Wife responded to the IRCC email with the requested documents (Degree Certificate + Transcripts + Valid Govt PHoto ID.


Have a ghost update on the file today - June 12, 2025. Hoping to get LPP complete notification soon.

are you all using citizenship application tracker? Because for me I did my test on June 9th it still says "waiting for you" nothing got updated.
Everything (Language Skills, Physical Presence, Citizenship test, Background Verification and Prohibitions) are in Progress.

I am not able to see if there were any ghost updates or not.

I've been using the tracker ever since I was able to sign up for it. Test completion takes awhile. Some test gets updated a day after and some are waiting for 3 months. It will get updated but its hard to tell when.

Seems a lot of people got fingerprints request. So did my wife. While my BG was completed, hers is still in progress likely because of that fingerprints request. She is due to do them today. Does anyone know if this normally delays the overall process?

After fps usually it takes upto 6 weeks but don’t know this time what they are up to, as they have send many fps requests.

Can anyone share how should we prepare for citizenship test?

read the discover canada book at least twice, use the richmond public library citizenship practice test & the toronto public library practice test. You'll be overprepared with these three resources.

Can anyone share how should we prepare for citizenship test?

Use the Discover Canada electronic or printed version (you can get it for free but shipping takes time) and test yourself using the CanCitizenship.app. The app offers 7 days trial which is enough to get yourself prepared.
