[Mississauga_In]

I have one question on my Spouse file: we have to submit in Paper for Canadian Citizenship. She didn't have IELTS as she was the dependent during my PR on the year of 2019. What are all the other documents we can submit for Language proof. Please advise.

Well if I may share the link from from https://www.cic.gc.ca/
What documents can I use to prove that I meet the citizenship language requirement? (cic.gc.ca)
What documents can I use to prove that I meet the citizenship language requirement?
You can send us one of a number of different documents to show that you meet the language requirement, including:

• the results of an IRCC-approved third-party test
• proof from certain government-funded language training programs
• proof of completion of secondary or post-secondary education in English or French, in Canada or abroad

For information on other forms of proof accepted, see:

• acceptable language proof tool (wizard)
• complete list of acceptable documents

You need to reach level 4 or higher to apply for citizenship. We use your documents to determine if you have reached this level for speaking and listening in English or French.
-----------
---- in my opinion, the easiest way will be, She should get the appointment for getting the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) at least Level 4 , in English or French. in my case, I submitted my diploma certificate.

Some unsolicited advice: The test is really easy that you don't need to spend days studying for it. I read the book once, did a couple of tests from Richmond library and Apna Toronto. And then took the test right after that. Total time spent was 3 hours.

The actual test is far simpler than Apna Toronto or Richmond library tests. I got 18/20 and I was done with the test in 3 minutes.

Nice! Good to know! Thank you!

My guess is that they made it super simple, so they don't have to deal with people failing and re-applying, as the test is just a formality at the end.

Guessing there weren't any difficult to remember dates and questions about the local political party names etc...?
