Can't Canada take IELTS?

There are two kinds of IELTS test: general training module and academic module.

IELTS, a general training module, focuses on evaluating whether candidates have enough English skills to live in English-speaking countries. So it's also called survival English test. Candidates who go to Commonwealth countries to participate in non-academic training generally take the IELTS test for general training at the request of training institutions. In addition, the immigration agencies in Canada, Australia and New Zealand all take the test results of IELTS as the reference standard for the English level of skilled immigrants.

The academic module IELTS test focuses on evaluating whether candidates have the language ability to study undergraduate or postgraduate courses in English environment. Different schools and degrees have different requirements for IELTS scores. At present, the IELTS scores are recognized by universities in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. If you haven't decided which country to study in, IELTS is undoubtedly a good choice.

The two types of IELTS scores cannot be interchanged when used, that is to say, candidates for immigration purposes must take general training exams, while candidates for studying abroad must provide academic IELTS scores. For some candidates who still want to study in colleges and universities after emigration, after landing in the destination country, they must take the IELTS test for studying abroad or the English language test recognized by the school they plan to enter.
