Language proof for citizenship

[CaBeaver]

I was reading through the checklist of citizenship application, and there was a language proof for English or French. Is that really a requirement for the citizenship? Because I submitted a language proficiency proof before to get my PR, and have been living for years in Canada.

EDIT: I read more details about this and it seems that if I studied in Canada, then it's enough to provide the transcripts and certificate. I did study in Canada. So, I guess I don't need to take any exams again.

Hi,
correct. Just send in your transcripts.

Yes, either that, or alternatively you can submit a copy of the expired IELTS that you took (assuming that you have the minimum necessary bands) for your PR.

Yes as long as the version is "general" and not "academic"
