The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a standardized language assessment exam used by universities worldwide to assess the language skills of potential international students. The answer is yes for those wondering if they could apply to colleges and universities to study in Canada without IELTS. First, however, you need to choose the alternatives.
Those students whose first language is not English must show proof of their English skills, which include reading, writing, listening, and speaking. If you are not interested in giving IELTS, here are the alternatives; Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL), Pearson Test of English (PTE), Canadian Test of English for Scholars and Trainees (CanTEST), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and other English Test.
