It's not about English classes, but whether your certificates/transcripts say/show that the medium of instruction is English...
this makes sense someone misled me to believe i have to take classes and i did not believe so, just starting to prepare the application and i thought i will ask, thank you for clarifying

Just joined group. From Red Deer, Alberta. Applied January 15, 2022, online. Received AOR on March 02, Background Verification on September 22. I am 66 years old and not required to do test or prove my language skills. Not sure anymore what my physical presence was at time of application, but it was good as I only left Canada once for 28 days or so. Still waiting...and waiting. Could you add me to your tracker? Thank you

The ways we measure your language skills in English or French include:

  • reviewing the proof you send with your application
so just send copy of my degrees from outside Canada? will be sufficient?, someone misled me and told me i will need to take classes or get the degree equivalency from Canada? I take this is false information based on the website information.

thank you so much for answering :) i appreciate
Below are the proof of language you can use:
Item 1 is common, just go back to your PR application and get a copy of the

1. IELTS/CELPIP general training you used when you applied for your PR. Expired are also accepted.
Step 2 Language


2. If you studied in or outside Canada and medium of instruction is in English or French, secondary or post secondary, you can use the diploma/transcript as proof of language.

if studied outside Canada, its easier to prove medium of instruction if that country use English (ie USA, UK) or French (i.e France) as their local language.

Step 1 Language

3. Certificate of you attend class: LINC - Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada

Step 3

There are other steps if these 3 are not applicable to you. You just follow Step 3.
