Citizenship: Proof of English or French Ability Documents

[phillyphil]

Hello,

I have a question about one of the required documents for the Citizenship application. The Proof of English or French Language Ability

As part of the documents required for the Citizenship application I am wondering if I can present both my CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) and IELTS (International English Language Testing System) [I know that both are third party tests that are acceptable by IRCC] however I wonder if presenting more than one test is OK?

My second question is; does the “Band Score” in my IELTS or my CELPIP score matter? (My scores are good, English is my first language, but it did not increase my Express Entry points by much when I was working on my PR application)

Once again, thank you in advance for your responses.

1. You only need 1. Submit your IELTs . Yes, you have to score "To become a citizen, you need to meet the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) Level 4 or higher."
