GENERAL -LS
Is this test suitable for citizenship?
Thanks.

I don't want to start arguing with IRCC, wait months for answers and prove something. It's easier for me to take the test and send them proof.

Yep, CELPIP General LS is accepted for Canadian citizenship. You must have a score of Level 4 or higher in listening and speaking.

When did you sit your test and when was your test marked as complete on the tracker?

My updates are in the spreadsheet and signature

Found another one of my tests.
IELTS Academic test 11/SEP/2021
All scores are greater than 6.
IRCC will accept for citizenship? The test was taken in Canada.

It looks like they only accept IELTS - General

1. International English Language Testing System (IELTS), General Training. You must have a score of:
   • 4.0 or higher in speaking and
   • 4.5 or higher in listening. (Note: If the test was done before November 28, 2008, we will accept a level 4 or higher)

Closed means Oath is done and citizen certificate is mailed. Your friend should call IRCC and check.

Wow, the decision made April 5th, and next they should send the invitation, he didn’t missed any email from them. Do you think islet system glitch?

GENERAL -LS is OK for citizenship.
You can use your expired certificate if you used one for immigration purposes. It should be General, not Academic.
I use my test certificate for the test taken in 2017

Could be, that's why I suggested to call IRCC and confirm.

Morning all!

I just check and I have my test marked as completed, but all the rest is still in progress. Is this normal? My partner and I applied together and his background verification is marked as completed.

Does anyone know the average time to get all the others (Language, Background, physical presence, prohibitions) updated to completed? My office is Sidney and so is his.

Also, I'd assume that it should take then up to 6 months until I receive the citizenship oath invitation. Am I correct?

I found the info below one their website. Also I remember reading somewhere when I applied that you can use your test taken in the past to apply for citizenship. Mine was taken in 2018 I believe. I don't remember them saying if they accept the academic one, but I'd assume yes.

What language level do I need when I apply for citizenship?
If you are between the ages of 18 and 54 on the date you sign your application, you must meet the Canadian Language Benchmarks Level 4 (CLB 4) or higher in speaking and listening.
This means to become a Canadian citizen you must show that you have an adequate knowledge of English or French by providing, with your citizenship application, proof that you can speak and listen in English or French at CLB/NCLC 4 level or higher.
