Hi Everyone,

While applying citizenship, there is a requirement to provide proof of language. Since I don't have IELTS results, I provided bachelor and master degree certificate from India.
Though certificate is in English, it doesn't mention that language of study is English.

Would it work or do I still need to provide a letter?

P.S. I don't have transcript either. Just graduation and post graduation certificates and schooling was in Hindi language.

Your degree, even though in English, will not suffice. You will have to take a test for this, unless you can get the documents mentioned above by @abbas.pasha

Given the red tape involved in getting documents / attestations from India, time and money, you might be better off taking an exam locally and getting done with it. My wife took the exam as here as she was not required at the time of PR application for her.
