Yes, IELTS is usually mandatory for admission to nursing programs at Canadian universities. Most require a strong overall IELTS score, often around 7.0, with no band below 6.5 or 7.0. Some schools may accept other English tests, but IELTS is most common. Be sure to check the exact requirements of your chosen university before applying.
