is ielts required at the time of filing application?

[marathoner]

I read from multiple (unconfirmed) sources that Canadian immigration rules changed in the past few days and language proficiency must be proved at the time of filing the application under the new regulations.

Q1: Do i need to supply IELTS score while filing my application?
Q2: Does anyone have any credible source of information? any URL?

Thanks.
