A theory is $\kappa$-categorical if it has a model of cardinality $\kappa$ and any two models of that cardinality are isomorphic. The existence clause prevents vacuous categoricity at cardinalities where there is no model.

To show that infinite-cardinal categoricity forces completeness, suppose $T$ were incomplete. Then some sentence $\sigma$ has both $T+\sigma$ and $T+\neg \sigma$ satisfiable, by completeness of first-order logic. Their models must be infinite because $T$ has no finite models. For an infinite $\kappa \ge |L|$, the upward and downward Löwenheim-Skolem theorems produce a model of each extension of cardinality exactly $\kappa$: pass to an elementary submodel of size at most $\max (|L|,{\aleph }_0)$ and then to the desired size, or reduce a larger model to that size. Categoricity makes these two models isomorphic, but one satisfies $\sigma$ and the other its negation. Contradiction. Therefore $T$ is complete. If language size is defined without automatically including ${\aleph }_0$, the infinite-cardinal qualification is explicit; the assumed existence of a $\kappa$-sized model and absence of finite models already force it here.
