About language requirement: Can i submit an IELTS(G) record done in January2012?

[Munchenxx]

Hello everyone,
I am about to submit my citizenship application next spring so it is time for me to get everything prepared for it. Here I just get a question about the language requirement:

I have became PR via the Quebec Selection Program(CSQ), instead of any federal programs. When applying for this CSQ, I took IELTS test in Montreal(Jan 2012) to get the extra English language points(i got 5 points out of 6 in total for the English language skill section, while i got zero out of 16 in total for the French skill section since i didnt take any French test at all, and finally i still got the CSQ since my total points reached the CSQ benchmark).

Also, I had taken another IELTS(General) test out of Canada in 2008, but that test was done personally just to evaluate my English skills, not for immigration purpose.

Both IELTS tests scored higher than the CIC required level for citizenship.

Question is: Can i use any of these two test records as the English language skill proof for the coming citizenship application?

Thanks a lot for your warm help in advance!

Hi Munchenxx,

Based on the citizenship application guide

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0002ETOC.asp#CIT0002E4

It's acceptable even expired.

good luck.

Thanks guys!

Does the IELTS test result has to have been submitted along with the former PR application to be valid to be used for citizenship application now? I mean, if the test was done not for the purpose of the former PR application and was not provided to CIC for the former PR application at all.
Thanks again!

anybody can clarify this?


i think the CIC websit eis confusing. It dopes mention in step1 that the IELTS result need to be the one submitted along with PR application. But in the "accepted proof" page it just says IELTS is acceptable...
