Language Test Options for SDS applicants expanded

Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced the acceptance of language test results from four additional exams for Student Direct Stream (SDS) applicants, effective August 10, 2023. Previously, only IELTS General and IELTS Academic were approved. The newly eligible tests are CELPIP General, CAEL, PTE Academic, and TOEFL iBT Test. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Minimum score requirements include Canadian Language Benchmark 7 for CELPIP General speaking abilities, 60 for CAEL and Pearson PTE Academic, and 83 for TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test). TOEFL iBT is administered over the internet and must be taken from a designated testing location. Students must take the tests at regulated and official test centres only.

TRV applications will now have a processing time of 30 days moving forward.

IRCC update

The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Federal Government of Canada have successfully reached an agreement, ensuring a smoother experience for international students interested in studying in Canada. Measures have been implemented to address disruptions in response and processing times within the IRCC. There might still be some minor delays in working towards full restoration in IRCC operations, but ILAC remains committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for students pursuing their educational dreams in Canada.
