Which IELTS test to practice
For nurses in Canada, practice IELTS Academic. Every provincial regulator in the table accepts it. The College of Nurses of Ontario and the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba also accept IELTS General Training. Listening and Speaking are the same in IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training; only Reading and Writing differ.
The score to aim for
| Regulator | Province | IELTS Academic minimum |
|---|---|---|
| British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) | British Columbia | 7.0 overall; Listening 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 |
| College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA) | Alberta | 7.0 overall; Listening 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 |
| College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan (CRNS) | Saskatchewan | 7.0 overall; Listening 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 |
| College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (CRNM) | Manitoba | 7.0 overall; Listening 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 |
| College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) | Ontario | 7.0 overall; Listening 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 |
