I took ILSAT a couple of years ago and worked as an interpreter for a bit. Does anybody know if this test will be a good enough proof of my language skills? it is issued by Ontario citizenship and immigration after all????

I looked at the language requirements as noted in the application guide, and I am doubtful this test will be considered as acceptable proof.

Approved third party tests (excluding Quebec-based exceptions) are:

1. CELPIP Genergal
2. CELPIP General LS
3. IELTS general
4. TEF (French)

Other ways to prove proficiency are through
1. completion of secondary/post-secondary education in French/English
2. achieving CLB/NCLC level 4 through government-funded language training programs.

SAT, GMAT, GRE etc are not listed as viable alternatives.

Yes, I saw this list on the website. I just don't understand, this diploma was issued to me by Ministry of citizenship and immigration and now the same ministry wouldn't take this diploma as a valid proof of language skills? It doesn't make any sense!!!!
Can I use it as my Secondary education diploma? Does enybody know anything about it? ???

So I just called them, if anyone is following. It can be considered as a language proof! So, if you ever worked as an interpreter or have the same diploma, you can use it for your citizenship application. :D ;D ;D
