Urgent..Proof of Language during Test

[aries9811]

Hi all,

I lost my original IELTS document during theft in apartment. I don't have original...what I submitted was a scanned printout for the citizenshp application. Can someone tell me, what I can bring as language proof as the Original Document is no longer with me also, the Original IELTS Test Results can't be requested from IELTS center.

Please advise what I should do /say while attending the test ? Also, do they take interview/all documents during the test/interview ?

Thanks
Aries

Do you have any other language proof listed in the instruction guide like degrees, diplomas, transcripts, etc from an English Medium School or University ? If I were you, I would take those instead.

Most applicants here weren't even asked to present the originals of the language proof during the interview. I think if you converse fluently, you should be fine. But best to be prepared for anything, so take alternative documents as well as a photocopy of your IETLS. Good luck

If you have any other of the types of proof IRCC lists as acceptable (a completed LINC class, or a diploma or certificate from a program that was taught in English; the complete list is at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html#language) then that's the obvious route to go.

They may be willing to accept the scanned printout on its own, when you explain that you no longer have the original because of a theft.
They may be willing to accept the scanned printout, together with a police statement about the theft.

You may not be asked to show any proof at all, if the Citizenship Officer considers your English to be fluent enough. I would not rely on being lucky, though, so take whatever documents you do have with you.

Hi..I have my original degree in English but I have only Photocopy of IELTS written in 2010. Do I need to carry sealed transcript also of my Degree ? I submitted only the IELTS as proof of language for my application and not photocopy of degree & transcript. Please advice

If you have the original degree, that should be good enough along with a photocopy of IELTS. Transcripts are not required in this case.

If they ask me about the original IELTS document, shall I tell them I lost in theft and provide them the copy police report given in usa..as I lost my passport also that time. ?

Yes, it's best to take the police report with you. I'd be more worried about losing the passport than language proof. Do you have a photocopy (preferably colored) of all the pages of the lost passport ?

Pretty much for my Citizenship process it's the new passport,,I lost it in 2012..so I have new passport already..But don't have original IELTS document. I did requested my degree also. As it was also lost..but I requested it and other documents that I could remember that I lost at that time.

What kind of degree in English? Bring the original of that. Anything from a school, university...something that you have completed and that was taught in English should suffice.
