Which IELTS test to practice
For a Canada study permit, practice IELTS Academic. UBC does not accept General Training. The Post-Graduation Work Permit takes General Training.
The score to aim for
Your institution sets the band, and you must clear both numbers.
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| The study permit itself, set by IRCC | None | None |
| College diploma or certificate | 6.0 | 5.5 |
| College degree or graduate certificate | 6.5 | 6.0 |
| Undergraduate degree at a university | 6.5 | 6.0 |
| Master’s or doctoral degree | 7.0 | 6.5 |
Departments set higher bars than the institution-wide minimum.
Before you book the real test
Your institution can raise its band between intakes. Check its admissions page before you book, and the permit rules: the study permit regulation (Justice Laws).
