    Hello my dear friend,

    All educational courses in Canada are taught in English and thus, you will have to showcase your proficiency in the English language. For the same, it is important you go ahead with an English language test like IELTS. Having said that, IELTS is not the only test that is acceptable for immigration.

    Below are the tests which are acceptable for the Student Visa and the required scores:

    • IELTS: For the Student Direct Stream, you will need to score a band of 6 in each section of Reading / Writing / Listening and Speaking out of 9. If your scores are less than this, you can opt for Non-SDS. NOTE: I would recommend you to apply only in SDS category as this stream has more probability of visa success.
    • CELPIP: This is another test which is valid for Canada Student Visa. This test is easier as compared to IELTS as this is specially for Canada. The minimum score requirement in CELPIP under the SDS category is CLB 7 ie 7 in each section of Reading / Writing / Listening and Speaking out of CLB 10.
    • PTE:
    • CAEL:
    • TOFEL:

    All in all, IELTS or any other English language test is obligatory before you apply for Canada Student Visa
