Are there French language requirements for studying in Canada?

Canada has two official languages, English and French, but language requirements depend on the institution and program. Most universities teach in English, requiring proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL. However, French-language institutions, such as those in Quebec, may require French proficiency tests like TEF or TCF.

Bilingual programs might need both languages. Always check specific university requirements, as they vary. Quebec has unique rules; for example, some programs may require French knowledge even if taught in English. Provincial immigration programs, like Quebec’s, may also have language prerequisites for post-study work permits or permanent residency.
