Hi,
I am applying for my citizenship this year and I have a question regarding the English language requirements. I live in Edinburgh and have been schooled here. I studied intermediate 2 English in school and passed it. One of the requirements for the application is having an ESOL certification. My question is, do I still need to take an ESOL exam even though I've got an Int 2 (SCQF level 5) English certificate from SQA.

Thanks.
