🇨🇦 Duolingo English Test for Canada — from Israel
More than 400 Canadian universities and colleges accept the DET, including every English-speaking U15 research university.
What Canada asks for
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; there is no single national minimum — each university and program sets its own.
Admission is not the same as the visa
Canada ended the Student Direct Stream (SDS) on 8 November 2024, which used to require IELTS specifically — so older guides are out of date. Today everyone uses the regular study-permit process: if a Canadian university accepts your DET and issues a Letter of Acceptance (LOA), that's generally sufficient for the permit. Note: Permanent Residency later requires an approved immigration test (IELTS General or CELPIP) — the DET is not used for PR.
From Israel — the essentials
- Costs in
- Israeli New Shekel (₪)
- Credentials
- Council for Higher Education (CHE / MALAG) — recognition of foreign degrees
- Funding to search
- Fulbright Israel (USIEF), Erasmus+, Azrieli Foundation, Rothschild scholarships
- Where students go
- United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Canada
- Apply from
- Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Be'er Sheva
English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Israeli secondary schooling is in Hebrew/Arabic, so an English test is a standard application step. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Israel — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
