What are the English language test requirements for Canada, and what scores do I need to achieve for a Postgraduate?

To study in Canada, you must prove English language proficiency with a standardized test. The main options are IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, and PTE Academic. Minimum scores depend on your program and university, but typical requirements are:

- IELTS Academic: 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for undergraduate, 7.0 overall (no band below 6.5) for postgraduate
- TOEFL iBT: 83+ for undergraduate, 90+ for postgraduate
- PTE Academic: 60+ for undergraduate, 65+ for postgraduate

For the Student Direct Stream (SDS) visa, you need IELTS Academic 6.0 overall (no band below 6.0).
