If your degree courses were strictly taught in English, then yes you should have no problems using your degree or transcript as proof of English language.

My anecdotal impression from posters here is that if your qualifications are from a country where the native language is english/ french you are ok but if its a non english speaking country despite your qualification being attained via a course taught in english/ french the odds are less in your favor with an increased risk of return. Obviously a statistical breakdown would be more helpful but this isn't happening. If I was an applicant today I would do one of the 3rd party tests to avoid CIC's obvious subjectivity.

Yes, I should have added your case is stronger if your country of education's official language is English (or French).

I used my diploma as language (English) proof and it was accepted. The entire course was taught in English and i notarized the photocopy of my diploma before sending.

If you can take IELTS exam, that really works.

CILPEP - is easier and cheeper than IELTS because in the latter you will have to pass all four listening, speaking, reading and writing, whilst in the former only the required listening and speaking. Dispite our constant critique of the CIC (often deserved) they did a good job of creating a very self-explanatory web site ( a link was provided in a previous email) which gets ignored or underused heavily by many based on enquiries or comments rampent in this forum. It's quite unfortunate that many have propensity to circumvent and search for answers anywhere and everywhere but in the place where they are.
