I applied for Canadian Immigration under the skilled worker category in August of 2002.
I have a bachelor's & a masters degree from the United States, do I still need to give the IELTS for english language proficiency?
The reason i am asking is, as my admission document form I20 says the student has the required english language proficiency..
Any one in similar situation?

Thank you

Your admission document is irrelevant. You must submit acceptable evidence
conclusively demonstrating your proficiency in English. The only acceptable
tests are IELTS and CELPIP - they are also the only clearly objective proof.

Any substitute evidence must clearly and conclusively demonstrate your
proficiency in each ability - speaking, writing, reading and listening - as
per Canadian Language Benchmarks. If you don't want to take the test then
download the CLB from here:

http://www.language.ca/pdfs/clb_adults.pdf

and follow their benchmarks for each ability when preparing substitute
evidence. I can bet you now that after finding out what you need to prove
with substitute evidence you'll decide that taking IELTS test is a much
easier task.
