Are you a native English speaker? I can't remember whether that was enough, or whether you have to qualify it with the fact that your qualifications are in English. Do you have English qualifications?

Hi

I go with Will'n'tina - if you are a native english speaker u don't have to fill it in. I didn't in EOI and in letter with ITA, it specified that I didn't need to fill that part in. HTH :fingerscrossed:

Cheers

I have just lodged ITA.

With the pack they send from London Branch, you get a 'Tips for Lodging Skilled Migrant Application'

There is a section in this on English Language Ability
"if you were born in the uk or have lived your entire life in the ukyou are not required to provide evidence of your english language ability.
The same will generally apply in other countries where english is the primary language
if you were born in a country where english is not the major language please refer to guide"


hope that helps.

We put down in that section that we had "studied a recognised qualification entirely in english"

Added to the fact we are British Citizens.
