3. Check the expected English language proficiency requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A major criterion to get enrolled in a Canadian university is to get through the English language proficiency tests. Depending on the course and university you have chosen, the required test and its expected scores will vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two major authorized providers in English. They are the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP). CELPIP was designed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) which contains elements of British and American English, as well as Canadian accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend students to take up the IELTS as it has many test centres and training institutes all over India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set sufficient time to prepare for the exams so that you do not mess up at the end. This is an important requirement to apply for a Canadian Study Permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
