Please some one help me on this question:

After studying , I have received a certificate from the Canadian Securities Institute, which is located here in Montreal, that I am a licensed financial advisor. and with this license I am practicing my career as a financial advisor.

Is this type of certification acceptable as a "language proficiency proof" when applying for Canadian citizenship?

Was it a post secondary education? How long was the duration?

I suppose it won't be accepted as language proof.
 
it is post university- you buy a book , you study and apply for an exam-- if you didn't succeed , you cant practice the career of being a financial advisor.

1. It is not sufficient proof of your language ability.
 
ok, thank you for your help.

unfortunately, the application is already sent and I suppose now it will be returned back.

if I sent now an official transcript from the university I studied in and sent it as additional document with my unique client Id, will they accept it?

I suggest you to wait for your application to return and then resubmit it with correct language proof.

There would be a time difference between the application being opened and your transcript being opened and there could be a possibility that your application would be returned prior to opening your transcript package.
 
thank you for the reply.

However I might be out of the country when the application returns, what is the best solution to sort this out?

should I be hiring a lawyer to take care of it?

As we get closer to the cutoff date (whenever that may be), the only solution for people who know they made a mistake on their application is probably going to be that they will have to send a whole new application. Accompanying the new application should be a letter stating that the new application is to be processed instead of the previously submitted one, which contained an error.
 
why not just take aＣＥＬＰＩＰ－Ｇ test？ very easy and just costs 180 CAD.
 
Better yet take the CELPIP-LS.
Its a one hour test and if you are even kinda OK! with English speaking and listening, you should be able to pass.
I do highly recommend that you do also buy couple of practice tests once you sign up for CELPIP-LS.
Sign up ASAP as this test is popular for citizenship:

Good luck!

I scheduled the CELPIP test yesterday. I will be flying to Manitoba to do it since I reside in Quebec.
do you think I should file another application with the results of the English exam as soon as they are out, even before the first application is returned (so that I don't fall under the new law, which cic confirmed to me yesterday over the phone it will be on June 19)??

I was thinking of writing them a letter in the new application, explaining to them that there was an error in the first application... but I am worried they will get confused... have you seen it happening before?

Thank you

You are allowed to apply a second time, but CIC will only process one application, not both. To prevent confusion, if the first application hasn't been returned, include a letter with your second application that says something like this:

Dear CIC:

I sent an application for Canadian Citizenship on April 25, 2015, which I later realized contained insufficient proof of language. I have now taken the CELPIP test, the results of which I am including with the attached new application. Please process the attached application instead of the one I sent previously.

Sincerely,
Anova
