Have you already got AOR?
If you have degree from overseas which was taught through the medium of English.
Then you may use that as a proof of language requirement

AOR is acknowledgement of receipt of your citizenship application. Have you got it or IRCC simply returned your application package with letter of English language requirement?
If you have Canadian diploma, then you can send copy of your diploma and transcript to cover the language requirement.
