Language Proficiency Test: Language Testing System

Immigration And Refugee Protection Regulations Dept: Anyone seeking Canadian citizenship as a new skilled immigrant is required to speak either English or French, the country's two official languages, according to Montreal Gazette. But on June 26, Kenney gave "ministerial instructions" that only applications filed with a completed standardized language proficiency test will be processed, effective immediately and a change made last month by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to how citizenship applications are processed in Canada is an "underhanded and abusive" tactic by the government to circumvent the law, the Canadian Bar Association charged yesterday. According to Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, those applying under the Federal Skilled Worker or Canada Experience classes may choose to take an International English Language Testing System or a Test d'evaluation de Francais, or provide sufficient documentation demonstrating language proficiency. As reported in the news.
