Can I consider Canada for my bachelor's degree after completing my IELTS preparation?

No, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Canada is not the most suitable option for you.
With a completed bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science and 12 years of work experience, you are better positioned for a master's program in Canada. Canadian universities typically require an overall IELTS Academic score of 7.0 (no band below 6.5) for postgraduate admissions, which aligns with your academic and professional background.
If you proceed with your IELTS preparation, focus on meeting the postgraduate requirements.
