Waarom je Engelse score belangrijk is
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.

Veelgestelde vragen
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.
