Do I also need to provide a medium of instruction certificate for my BSc Computer Science degree in Canada?

It depends. Some Canadian institutions may accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate for your BSc Computer Science degree as proof your studies were in English, but others may still require an English proficiency test like IELTS.
Always check the specific admission requirements of your chosen university. An MOI is not a universal substitute for standardized English tests in Canada.
If you need help determining which documents are required, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
