IELTS 7.0 is the threshold many competitive Canadian graduate programs, professional faculties, and co-op streams publish for international applicants. Competitive Canadian graduate and professional programs with IELTS 7.0+ thresholds. If your current scores are at 6.5, use the gap calculator to see how far each section is from 7.0 before booking a retake. Enter your scores in the gap calculator below to see whether you already meet these published floors, then open individual university pages to confirm faculty-specific rules before you pay an application fee.
Pourquoi votre score en anglais est important
Graduate applicants often treat IELTS 7.0 as a universal pass mark, but departments publish higher thresholds than central admissions pages. Engineering, MBA, nursing, and law faculties in Canada frequently require one full band or 10–20 TOEFL points above the university-wide minimum. A shortlist at IELTS 7.0 is a useful starting point—not a guarantee of admission to your target program.

Questions fréquentes
Can I get into university in Canada with IELTS 7.0?
Many institutions publish graduate baselines at or below 7 on IELTS Academic, making IELTS 7.0 a viable planning target for a safety or target school shortlist. Competitive programs in business, engineering, and health often require higher scores—use the table as a starting point, not a final answer.
Is IELTS Academic accepted at all listed universities?
Most listed institutions accept IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, or PTE Academic for international degree admission, but acceptance varies by program and intake. Each university page on this site lists accepted tests—confirm on the official admissions page before applying.
Do graduate programs use the same minimum as undergraduate?
Usually not. Graduate, professional, and research programs in Canada often publish thresholds 0.5–1.0 IELTS bands or 10–20 TOEFL points above undergraduate baselines. If you are applying to both levels, check each separately.
What if one section is below the minimum?
Many universities require every band or section to meet a published floor—not only the overall score. One weak section can lead to a conditional offer or rejection. Use section-focused practice on EnglishTestNow before paying for another official test.
How do I know if I need a retake?
Enter your current scores in the free gap calculator on this page. If every section meets or exceeds IELTS 7.0 for your shortlisted programs, you may be ready to apply. If one skill is short, prioritize that section in a two-to-six-week prep block before retaking.
Is this list guaranteed to include my target university?
No. The table is generated from published baselines in our university registry and may not reflect the latest intake update for every faculty. Always verify on the institution's official admissions page before submitting an application.
