What English Language Tests Are Accepted by Canadian Universities?
RNR Canadian Immigration Consultancy Inc. helps international students choose the right English exam for university admission across Canada.
English Language Proficiency: A Key Step Toward Studying in Canada
To study at a Canadian university or college, international students must demonstrate proficiency in English. This ensures you’re prepared for academic coursework and can actively participate in campus life. At RNR Canadian Immigration Consultancy Inc., we guide you in selecting the right English language test based on your institution's requirements and your strengths. The most widely accepted exams include IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, and increasingly, Duolingo English Test—each with its own format, scoring system, and validity period.
IELTS Academic is a popular choice, recognized by nearly all Canadian institutions. TOEFL iBT is another trusted option, especially in research-focused universities. PTE Academic is gaining recognition due to its fast results and computer-based testing, while Duolingo offers a convenient at-home option, accepted by many schools in recent years. Some programs also accept Cambridge English exams like CAE or CPE.
At RNR Canadian Immigration Consultancy Inc., we help you determine which test best fits your university application and personal situation. We provide clarity on minimum score requirements, test preparation tips, and how scores affect both admissions and visa eligibility. Our expert consultants ensure that your language test aligns with your study goals and application timeline, helping you avoid delays and unnecessary retakes.
