Hi,
I had applied last month for naturalisation via online +NDRS+JCAP. I am a citizen of a majority English speaking country that appears under the list of exempt countries for proving knowledge of English language. I had submitted my passport as a proof of both the identity and to satisfy the requirement for knowledge of the English language. This is the same passport I had submitted as part of my ILR appliction as well and had been accepted as fulfilling the language requirement.

However today I have received a letter a from the home office stating they haven't received a relevant document proving my knowledge of English. I wanted to confirm whether my understanding is correct that as a national of an English speaking country, I am exempt from the requirement of providing any additional documentation towards the satisfaction of this requirement.

in any case the home office has only given me 10 days to send in the documentation which is too short a time frame for me to sit a language test . Any help would be really appreciated

thanks

No idea why you should be sitting the English test if you are from a country (which?) on the exempt list. Suggest you send a letter (Special Delivery) explaining the situation, adding copies of relevant documents (passport or ID card, birth certificate, etc). Keep copies of everything you send.

I am a Canadian citizen

The case worker hasn't checked properly!

I thought that to be the case but I just find it incredible that the proof (the passport) is staring them in the face and they decide to send the applicant on a wild goose chase instead.
