Yes, you need to take the IELTS to study in Canada. Most Canadian schools want proof of your English skills, and IELTS is a common way to show that. The IELTS score you need is usually between 6.0 and 7.5, but it depends on the program and school. Some universities might accept TOEFL, PTE Academic, or other tests. Sometimes, you might not need to take a test if you studied at an English-speaking school, but it’s best to check what the university requires.
