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the Student Direct Stream (SDS) on 8 November 2024, which used to require IELTS specifically — so older guides are out of date.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.
Applying from Ethiopia
At about $70 the DET is taken online from Ethiopia — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. Instruction is largely in English; Duolingo English Test accepted for international admission where a test is required.
