Hi I have recently submitted citizenship application and I've been thinking recently that would only a diploma sufficient for the language proof?

I've read the requirement from cic and it seems like it is what they want:

"A degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French, in Canada or abroad"

But on my diploma it only says my name, and institution and the country (Australia), now I am wondering if just a name verifies my identity? What if it's some different person that happens to have the same name?

Anyone in the same situation? Thanks.

"What if it's some different person that happens to have the same name? " This is a huge problem. As far as I know, there can be only one applicant with the same name. So, highly likely, they will reject your application or put on hold. You might need to wait like years to fix this.


or (okay, I was kidding earlier), just chill, relax and check your email in case they ask any more information. so, enjoy your weekend bro!
