For benefit of other members regarding the English Language requirements post 28th Oct..please see below. A print out form the Points calculator should suffice if awarded 10 points. Reference email below.

Dear ***,
Where a PBS dependant falls short of the qualifying period for ILR they can apply to extend their leave under the PBS dependant rules. Successful applicants are granted a further period of three years and can apply for ILR at any point once they complete the qualifying period. She would do this by applying on the PBS (Dependant) application form together with the relevant fee and supporting documents.
With regard to your question on the new knowledge of language and life in the UK, if you have a qualification that was taught or researched in English you can meet the language part of the requirement if:
- Your qualification is deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the UK, or
- Your qualification was taught or researched in an English speaking country other than Canada (see list below).
You will need to send your certificate as evidence of your qualification.
UK NARIC regularly update the online points based calculator (which is on our website) with information about various degrees. If you obtained a degree overseas and were awarded ten points for English language skill, you can submit evidence from the online points calculator, together with the original degree certificate, to demonstrate that you can satisfy the English language element of the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK (KOLL) requirement.
Alternatively, you can obtain confirmation from UK NARIC that your qualification was taught or researched in English by requesting an English Language Assessment (ELA). Details of how to contact UK NARIC can be found at:

I hope this sufficiently addresses your query.
Kind regards
