What are the eligibility criteria for fee waivers, such as minimum graduation percentage and IELTS score in Canada?
22 Jul 2026 · Answered by Mona Negi · 1 min read
Eligibility for fee waivers in Canada depends on the specific university or college, but common criteria include:
- Academic performance: Most institutions require a minimum of 60% to 75% in your previous qualifications (for example, a four-year bachelor’s degree).
- English language proficiency: Typically demonstrated by tests like IELTS or TOEFL. Common requirements are IELTS 6.0 - 6.5 overall (with no band below 5.5 or 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 80 - 88 overall.
Some programs may also consider work experience, leadership, or financial need. Criteria vary by institution and program, and are subject to change.
