Most Canadian universities and colleges require proof of English proficiency for international applicants whose first language is not English. Commonly accepted tests include IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test, with minimum score requirements varying by institution.<\/p>\n

Some exceptions apply, such as if you’ve completed prior education in English or are from an English-speaking country. Always check the specific requirements of your chosen program, as some may have higher score thresholds or prefer certain tests. Preparatory language courses might also be an option if you don\u2019t meet the required scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"question-category":[404],"class_list":["post-4795","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-overseas-education"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDo I need to take an English proficiency test to study in Canada?
