IELTS Scores & University Applications
Most universities in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other countries require non-native English speakers to show proof of their English language skills. They usually accept the IELTS or the TOEFL, but it is always best to check with the specific university or program you are applying to. Some students are exempt from the language requirement, like citizens of English-speaking countries. But there are some exceptions, like residents of Quebec in Canada who may have to take an English language test. And in some cases, students who have completed the International Baccalaureate program in English or earned a secondary or tertiary diploma from an English-speaking school may be exempt. But it all depends on the university’s policy.
