Hi,

I mistakenly selected English as First Language while filling form for IELTS, although my mother tongue is Hindi.

Now while filling my application form post ITA, I'm planning to fill English as mother tongue, to maintain continuity with information in IELTS Result sheet.

Please suggest if it is ok, or am I required to get it corrected in IELTS Result (although I am not sure if it is possible to)?

Thanks

Thanks for confirmation xpressentry. As I had earlier received work permit from CIC (& might have provided Hindi as mother tongue); hence wanted to confirm if CIC might cross-check against previous info. Although, to me it looks minor detail & should not impact my eligibility in any manner.

No need. Just put down Hindi. IELTS collect native language for research purposes.

Hi guys- I have a similar query, I wrote English as the first language in IELTS, whereas earlier I wrote another language for my mother tongue, like for CIC's applications. What should I write for EE? Can someone please share their experience in this regard, really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Bend

Noted, thank you. I am concerned about CIC noting that English has been stated as the first language on the IELTS report, unlike my prior CIC-student and work applications. Would you recommend adding an explanatory note?

Hi-can someone please share their experience in this regard, more so those who already got PR and had a similar issue.

I have read mixed experiences from people on this forum, and getting really worried. My IELTS result is out, and the report is in mail. I have indicated another language as my mother tongue in my previous work permit and study permit applications, and English as the first language in my IELTS . What should I do, like what language should I mention?

I am facing the same issue as in my TRF I chose first language as English, however it is Hindi.

Please suggest, which language should as choose in Native Language Post ITA submission.
