Hello there. I am applying for citizenship for 2016-2021.
There is a question "Do you have proof of knowledge of English and French".
I took a college course with English class and got it before 2016.
Will my transcript be acceptable?

Thank you

Was the full college diploma / degree that you took delivered primarly in English? It's not enough that you took one course in English. The entire diploma / degree would have needed to been delivered primarly in English.

I'm afraid it is only an English class. I thought it would work because there was a drop-down option of what to submit and it says Post-Secondary in English. I ordered my original transcript from the school that says I took English but I guess it will not work.

The drop down for Post-Secondary in English means that your full degree / diploma was taken in English (not just one class).

Just to clarify, I took a diploma accounting program in college. I took it for 2 years. I didn't finish it.

You're going to need to take a language test before you can apply for citizenship. If you look at the IRCC website, it is clear that the language of instruction for the program must have been either English or French. One course doesn't get you there and will result in your citizenship application being returned.

Your proof must be in English or French. If it’s in another language, you must also send a certified English or French translation. The translation should show that the language of instruction of the program was English or French

Ok. Thank you. What about my high school diploma? I took grade 11 and 12 back in 2009. Will that be acceptable?

Same question as for the post secondary education. Was your full high school program delivered in English? Or only select courses?
 
Yes, everything was in english language.

Then you should be good to use that. Follow the instructions on the IRCC website for what to submit.
