Most Canadian colleges require English language proficiency for international students who attended secondary and post-secondary institutions whose primary medium of instruction is NOT English. English language proficiency maybe proven by the taking any of the tests: IELTS, Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB), Pearson Test of English – Academic (PTE-Academic) and Canadian Academic English (CAEL).
Some colleges accept international student applicants who do not meet the minimum language requirements on the condition that they take English as Second Language (ESL) or English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes before their intended academic programs.
If you’re considering this option in coming to Canada please send your resume to info@accesspro-immigration.ca so we can assess your work history and education background and match you with a post-graduate program in the college. Please also note that the Canadian government requires proof of financial support or proof of funds to study in Canada.*
