Language Proof for Canadian Citizenship -- Need Help please

[Kepner]

Hello,

So my situation is like this, I submitted my Canadian Citizenship Form a few months ago but now they return it saying that the "language evidence submitted with your application is not acceptable". I attached my College Transcripts, that I took here in Canada, as proof of my post-secondary education in English.

I looked again on CIC site to be sure that transcripts are enough as proof.

Proof of completion of secondary or post-secondary education in French or English includes:
A diploma or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary school indicating the successful completion of a program, in Canada or abroad. or
A diploma or certificate from a secondary or post-secondary school indicating successful graduation, in Canada or abroad.

It does says from the site that they do accept transcripts but how come they return mine.

My problem now is, if transcript isn't acceptable, then what documents do I need to submit to be accepted?
Can I use my Diploma?

If anyone has the same experiences please share and how you manage to solve this.

There's no point to argue - they are always right... I would just take the test.

But before I take the test... Does my Diploma enough as proof?

You sent the transcript and it might not show completion of the program, just the exam results. CIC doens't know if you passed all required exames for diploma. Just the send the copy of diploma toghether with a copy of the transcript and should be ok.

You can use transcripts as a proof of language if you have completed your degree. If you have completed your degree, you can send the transcripts and degree completion together as a proof of language.

I would recomend calling the call centre and asking them. Dispite a huge prejudice against them by many posters i believe their are adequate people and helped me everytime I called.

i sent my transcripts and degree from UofT and they returned my application. your best bet would be to do the IELTS or that other test and stop wasting your time.

Hi Boujasim,

Have they provided you with a reason for the above not being a valid proof of language requirement?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Kepner,

Did your transcript include a statement saying that your degree was granted or any other phrase saying you completed the program/degree?

Thank you and I am in the same boat as you.

I submitted my application with transcripts and Diploma. They accepted it. But i did send original transcripts which was sealed and my transcripts do show that i completed my degree... so i don't know if that makes difference.

Hi Lei_F,

Thank you for the information. I am assuming that if an applicant provides only transcripts, it needs to mention that he/she has completed the program, degre granted, or etc. depending on the university/school. If this is not the case, then they will need to update the CIC website to not include transcript, which I doubt is wrong, otherwise it would have been updated by now

Best,
AFMTL
