Self-Employed Application 2020

Hello everyone;
I didn't need the language score and that's why I didn't submit any language tests result with my application, but now I received an email requesting additional documents, and in addition to updating one of the forms, they gave me a month to send them the results of my IELTS test.
Since there was no IELTS in my country until a few days ago,
Is there any way I can ask them for more time to submit my IELTS test report?
and the next question, I searched everywhere on the IRCC website, but I didn't see that anywhere mentioned about the minimum IELTS score.
can you please advise me ?
Tnx alot

Send them a request for extension through webform. remember to attach evidence showing no IELTS will be available for the time period given.
It is a bit weird for IRCC to request such a specific test results. They normally ask for proof of language ability in order to carry out your intended plan, and it can be in any form.
Processing of self employed class involves the following stages:
1. have enough experience
2. be able and willing to be self employed in Canada and contribute to Canadian culture, economy.
3. meet the point system requirement
4. pass medical
5. pass background
6. have enough money
1.2.3 are eligibility assessment
4.5.6 are admissibility assessment
everyone of the six points has to be met to get approved. you have to pass 1 and 2 to be considered a self employed person in this immigration class. and then the point system assessment becomes relevant.
So most of the time, language ability is not required for point 3, but rather to pass point 2, which is being able to establish self employment in Canada where english is a basic skill to even survive. However, english is not required by everyone, because people have different business models and some don't rely heavily on communications, hence lower language requirement. It all comes down to your overall application strategy.
Where are you applying from? If I may
and which office is processing your case?
Oh sorry for delay, Aactually, I have applied from Iran and the Warsaw office is processing my case
Hey everyone! Updating my timeline:
It is being processed in the Mexico office.

Final Update: PR card received today 
The long journey is officially over. The card took 30 days to be delivered after my virtual landing (June 28th).
I likely won’t be on here as much now but still plan to check in from time to time as I’m invested in many of your journeys & want to see how it’s going.
Thanks to everyone for all your help and support! And good luck with everything.
