Language requirement for Citizenship application

[fayfeily]

Hi all,

Currently, i am reside in Quebec. I would like to see anyone can provide a clarity of language requirement if i apply my citizenship in Quebec. I heard that i would require to proof of a French language (level 4) if i need to apply my citizenship here.

However, I cannot find this information in official website. I am not sure a French language proof is a compulsory requirement for citizenship application here.

Thanks

I don't think French language proof is mandatory for your citizenship application. Canada has 2 official languages - English and French. Nobody can insist that you MUST submit French language proof.

Answer the questions in this link and IRCC will tell you if those documents are acceptable.

If you have an IELTS - General Test Report Form that you submitted for your PR application, IRCC will accept this EVEN IF IT IS EXPIRED.

You'll also find information about this in the Citizenship grant instruction guide.

• If you are 18 to 54 years old:
  • Photocopies of your proof of English or French language ability.
    Examples of the types of language evidence that can be submitted include:
    • results of a third-party language test
    • diploma, certificate or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program in Canada or abroad, where the language of study was English or French
    • proof that you have reached the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 4 or higher through a government-funded language training programs
  • For more information visit “What documents can I use to prove that I meet the citizenship language requirement?”
    OR
    • If you are 18-54 years of age and unable to demonstrate that you have the necessary English or French language ability due to a medical condition, you must submit a supporting evidencewith your application. Please provide photocopies of one of the following:
      • An audiogram and an attestation issued by a Canadian audiologist if you are hearing impaired
      • Evidence from a medical practitioner in Canada if you have a disorder, disability or condition that is cognitive, psychiatric or physiological in nature
• Two (2) identical citizenship photos
• The application fee receipt of $630.00 per adult paid online

I think that it is not necessary to know both English and French. But as for me, I want to get Italian citizenship and as far as I know it is necessary to know Italian
