How long are IELTS scores valid for studying in Canada?

Some universities in Canada require IELTS scores, so how long are the IELTS scores valid? This must be the focus of many people's attention. Let me briefly introduce how long is the validity period of IELTS scores for studying in Canada.

The IELTS score is valid for two years from the date of the test.

For the IELTS test itself, the IELTS score is valid for two years from the date of the test. However, considering that the institutions, institutions or embassies to which candidates apply have different specific requirements for score validity, candidates need to directly contact the school or institution that receives IELTS scores to ensure that the IELTS scores meet the requirements.

The sub-scores and total score of the IELTS test range from 0 to 9, including full and half points, but there is no passing score. Each institution, institution or embassy that recognizes IELTS scores will set its own minimum score requirements for candidates.

During the validity period of the IELTS score, candidates cannot cancel their test scores by any means, but they can choose not to use the IELTS score for the application.

Each IELTS score is independent, so candidates can choose the IELTS score they are most satisfied with within the validity period of the IELTS score.
