Not without any English test, but IELTS is not the only one. These universities on this page publish a Duolingo English Test score you can use instead:
Some also offer a conditional offer or an English programme first if your score is a little short:
Plan for one more test later: for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, IRCC asks university graduates for English at CLB 7 in all four skills.

How to choose
Six checks Sunrise counsellors run with every Canada applicant before the application goes in.
A bachelor's student needs a provincial attestation letter (PAL), which the university requests for you. Since 1 January 2026, master's and PhD students at public universities don't need one. Quebec universities ask for a CAQ instead.
Show CAD 23,448 for a year's living costs, plus first-year tuition and travel. At the University of Lethbridge that is about CAD 48,110 (about BDT 42.5 lakh); at UBC Arts about CAD 75,000.
The universities that publish a score on this page ask for IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 120. Some give a conditional offer with a lower score and an English course first.
UVic closes on 31 January 2027, Calgary and Alberta on 1 March 2027 for most programmes. Scholarship deadlines come earlier: Alberta 10 January, Calgary's prestige awards 1 December 2026.
A bachelor's or master's degree of at least 8 months at an eligible public university has no field-of-study rule for the Post-Graduation Work Permit. Diplomas and certificates can, so check before you pay.
Alberta, Carleton and Dalhousie guarantee or freeze tuition for new students, UBC caps rises at 3% a year and Windsor fixes base tuition. SFU says continuing students' tuition may rise up to 6% a year.

FAQ
Ask a Canada counsellor directly if your question is not here.
WhatsApp 01611878274Of the 2026/27 fees on this page, Brandon University charges the least: CAD 17,877 a year for Arts (CAD 20,880 with fees). UPEI charged CAD 16,670 in 2025-26 and has not yet published 2026-27 in its overview. The University of Winnipeg (CAD 19,410–24,120), UNB Saint John (CAD 21,618), Memorial University (CAD 22,500) and Cape Breton University (CAD 23,794) are also under CAD 25,000 a year.
You need an English test, but it can be Duolingo at several universities: Toronto, Alberta, Calgary, Victoria and Winnipeg each publish a Duolingo score of 120. UVic, Calgary, Windsor and UPEI also offer conditional offers or English programmes if your score is short.
For applications from 1 September 2026, IRCC asks a single student outside Quebec to show CAD 23,448 for a year's living costs, plus first-year tuition and travel. That is about BDT 20.7 lakh for living costs alone, and the taka figure changes with the exchange rate.
Not at a public university: since 1 January 2026, master's and doctoral students at public designated learning institutions are exempt. Bachelor's students still need a PAL, and students going to Quebec need a CAQ.
Yes, if you are eligible: up to 24 hours a week off campus during classes, and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks such as summer and winter holidays.
Some give entrance awards. Guelph's President's International Entrance Scholarship pays CAD 32,500–42,500 over four years for averages of 70% and above, and Windsor's Global Lancer Scholarship up to CAD 24,000 over four years. Regina says its savings bundle can save up to CAD 21,000.
A bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree has no field-of-study requirement for the PGWP, if the programme is at least 8 months at an eligible institution. University graduates must also show English at CLB 7 in all four skills.
This page covers universities only. College diplomas and certificates follow different PGWP rules, including a field-of-study list, so ask a counsellor to check a college programme before you apply.
