Hi I took CELPIP general 2014 August 10, for my PR application.

How ever I didn't submit / It was not required to submit english certificate for my pr application because my NOC was B.

My score was L6 R4 W6 S6.

My question can I submit this result for my citizenship application .


Please advise me I need your help.

Refer to below points:
  1. Results from a third-party language test

    Your language test result must be equal to the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB/NCLC)/Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens level 4 or higher in speaking and listening. If you did the test in the past for immigration or citizenship purposes, we will accept the results even if it has expired.

    Examples of third-party tests include:

    • Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program General Test (CELPIP-G) or the CELPIP-General LS (listening and speaking).
      • If you took the test after April 1, 2014, you must have a score of level 4 or higher in listening and speaking.
      • If you took the test before April 1, 2014, you must have a score of 2H or higher (i.e., 3L, 3H, 4L, 4H, 5L, or 5H) in listening and speaking.
    • International English Language Testing System (IELTS), general training, not the academic version You must have a score of:
      • 4.0 or higher in speaking and
      • 4.5 or higher in listening. (Note: If the test was done before November 28, 2008, we will accept a level 4 or higher)
    • Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF), Test d’Évaluation du Français adapté au Québec (TEFAQ) or TEF pour la naturalisation.
      • If you took the test after July 1st, 2012, you must have a score of:
        • Niveau B1 or higher, (i.e. B2, C1 or C2) in Compréhension de l’oral and Expression orale
      • If you took the test before July 1st, 2012, you must have a score of:
        • Niveau 3 or higher in Compréhension de l’oral and Expression orale. (Note: if you took the Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF) before July 1st, 2012, you need a level 3 for expression orale only. This applies only to the TEF and not the TEFAQ or TEF pour la naturalisation.
      We will accept the following proof if you have submitted them in the past for immigration purposes to Quebec (note: these tests align with the échelle québécoise and not officially with CLB/NCLC 4):

      • Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF) – All test results
      • Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF) – Level B1 or higher
      • Test de connaissance du français(TCF) – Niveau B1 or higher
      • Test de connaissance du français pour le Québec (TCFQ) – Niveau B1 or higher

As Goku posted above, since you took the test after April 2014, you are fine. But you will update need the original test result and not a copy.

I think photo copy is fine
do not need original copy and update copy
You are right, photo copies are fine. From the guide -

If you are 18 to 54 years old:
  • Photocopies of your proof of English or French language ability if you are 18-54 years of age. Examples of what you can provide include the following:
    • results of a third-party language test;
    • diploma, certificate or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program in Canada or abroad, where the language of study was English or French
    • proof that you have reached the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 4 or higher through a government-funded language training programs.
