Might have messed up Citizenship application - English Language Ability proof

I think I might have messed up my citizenship application. I filled out and sent my citizenship application on Feb 24 (delivered at Sydney, NS on Feb 26 i.e. today).

For the proof of English language ability, I intended to submit my Canadian degree transcripts and also attached photocopy of IELTS general from Sept 2017 "just in case". This is where I messed up. I just realized I sent the IELTS scan but, in all excitement, forgot to insert the transcripts in the package because I didn't come across education documents going through the document checklist.

Now I am worried about the consequences of my omission! IELTS won't be considered valid anymore because it is recommended that it be re-taken in two years! Will this be a huge problem and basis for rejection? Does anyone know of a remedy to a situation like this? Can I send Canadian degree transcripts separately to be added to my application package?

If you included IELTS general that is enough. It doesn't matter if it is expired as CIC will accept it

Scroll to Language requirement here CIC Page

IELTS General is good enough (even if it expires). So you are good don't worry. :)

That is not a reason to send back your application. If they need further evidence they will ask you for it. So enjoy !
