Language test

Post by Edinburgh75 »

I am Scottish and lived in the UK for 38 years. I currently live in France and I am bilingual (parents both married French partners when I was young)

I’m being asked to do language proficiency test for both languages for my work visa as a pilot in Canada.

I’m confused because I was brought up in Britain and educated there through to university and beyond.

How on earth do I provide proof when I am a native of the country that the language is named after!!!

Thanks, so I don’t need to prove language after all I had been told I need to do a test

I think that you answered your own question earlier:
