If I had a dollar for every person that has mentioned “I want to study abroad in Canada without writing IELTS”, I’ll possibly be Dangote’s rival.
How ?
Its funny because everyone wants to go to Canada but nobody wants to write IELTS.
You see, IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) in lay man terms, is a body that examines your English speaking, hearing, writing and reading abilities.
This is because as a migrant in an English speaking country, demonstrating full proficiency of the language assures the authority that you will thrive and not be left wandering about confused.
So, it is essentially for your own good.
If you can demonstrate that you are fluent in English, you are assuring the government that you can study and work in the country.
In truth, most schools in Canada do not require proof of language proficiency as a requirement for admission.
Submitting your application can very well happen without IELTS.
Yup. It is 100% possible to get admission into a tertiary institution in Canada without writing IELTS.
However, your visa application is ultimately null without it.
To be fair, some people can apply for a visa if they have already secured admission into a Canadian university.
(In most cases, they are people that have travelled far and wide, speak multiple languages, are possibly recurring visitors in the country or neighboring countries or and are known celebrities)
Even at that, the process can become incredibly drawn out.
There are a few factors that can determine why you would have to write an English test.
A few of them are:
- Your preferred course of study
- Choice of destination
- The University you decide on
Escaping IELTS is tricky because you can decide to go to United States and gbam there’s TOEFL to write. No escaping that.
You choose Australia and surprise! the school you pick wants to know if you understand English perfectly (non-negotiable)
