English Language Requirements for Universities

Students who have NOT attended English speaking high schools for 3 or more years may have to take English Language Tests to gain admission to Canadian/English speaking universities. Please pay close attention when applying through OUAC with the instructions that school gives for students who will need to take an English Language Test.

Follow this link to see the requirements for each Ontario University for English Language Tests Ontario Universities – English Language Test

For students who are unable to meet these English Language Requirements, consider a CultureWorks program at one of the following partner institutions: University of Western Ontario,  Brescia University College (at University of Western Ontario), Kings University College (at University of Western Ontario), the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, and now Carleton University.  CultureWorks is an ESL program that prepares international students for university or college study.
