Language Proficiency Requirements for International Applicants

Landed immigrants and international applicants to any of the graduate nursing programs in Nursing, whose first language is not English, are required to provide evidence of English proficiency prior to admission in one of the following ways:

  • (home-based): minimum score of 5 on the overall test with a minimum score of 5 on reading, writing, and listening, and 4.5 on speaking;
  • (Internet-based): minimum score of 5 on the overall test with a minimum score of 5 on reading, writing, and listening, and 4.5 on speaking;
  • : minimum score of 7 on the overall test and on each subcomponent;
  • : minimum score of 140;
  • Proof of RN registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario

Students must make their own arrangements to write the TOEFL or IELTS and have the official results sent directly to 成人大片's by the testing agency at the time of application to the program. Scores are valid if taken within two years of application to the program. If test scores are older than two years, a new test must be written and passed before admission will be considered.

Students whose first language is not English may be exempt from providing English Proficiency test scores if they have studied academic courses on a full-time basis for at least two years in an English-speaking university located in a country whose official first language is English. While we reserve the right to require evidence of English proficiency from any applicant whose first language is not English, French Canadians do not typically need to provide an English proficiency score. However, it is expected they be bilingual.
