🇨🇦 Duolingo English Test for Canada — from Liechtenstein
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the Student Direct Stream (SDS) on 8 November 2024, which used to require IELTS specifically — so older guides are out of date.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 Liechtenstein — the essentials
- Costs in
- Swiss Franc (CHF)
- Credentials
- Office of Education (Schulamt); University of Liechtenstein for recognition
- Funding to search
- Liechtenstein Government study grants, Erasmus+, Swiss/Austrian university scholarships
- Where students go
- Switzerland, Austria, Germany, United Kingdom, United States
- Apply from
- Vaduz, Schaan, Triesen
Liechtenstein is German-speaking; Switzerland, Austria and Germany are the leading destinations, and English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Liechtenstein — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
