Country-level guidance for Canada

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the Student Direct Stream (SDS) on 8 November 2024, which used to require IELTS specifically — so older guides are out of date.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.

Medicine & Health Sciences at Queen's University

Queen's University offers programmes in medicine & health sciences(per AlmiStudy course data). The Duolingo English Test is accepted for admission; confirm the programme's specific score on its official page.

Applying from Sudan

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Sudan — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Sudanese higher education has both English- and Arabic-medium tracks.
