The language proficiency requirements for international students applying to study in Canada at different levels (diploma, advanced diploma, bachelor's, postgraduate, and master's) usually vary depending on the program's language of instruction and the particular policies of the university. This is a broad summary based on standard procedures: 


English Language Proficiency Tests: The most commonly accepted English language proficiency tests for Canadian institutions are:

  • IELTS (International English Language Testing System): Often required by Canadian universities and colleges. Minimum score requirements vary by institution and program but generally a range from 6.0 to 7.0 for undergraduate and graduate programs. Alfa Beta provides the best IELTS classes in Kathmandu run by certified tutors and also has innovative teaching methods.

  • PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic): Accepted by some institutions, with score requirements typically aligning with those of IELTS and TOEFL, that is, 60 each band for undergraduate and 64 for graduate programs. Not every university in Canada accepts PTE for master’s level, so we suggest IELTS. Alfa Beta provides the best PTE classes in Kathmandu, flexible with the student’s time and also is the authorized PTE Test Center.

  • TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): Another widely accepted test! Scores required vary, with many institutions looking for scores around 80-100 for undergraduate and graduate programs. According to IRCC, TOEFL is not acceptable for visa purposes, so we suggest students take the IELTS or PTE test. Alfa Beta provides the best TOEFL classes as well, where students will get best test preparation courses with top-quality guidance and resources.

Along with this, Alfa Beta also provides test preparations for SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT, which makes it convenient for students to prepare for universities under one roof. Hence, Alfa Beta is the best consultancy in Nepal for study abroad and provides the best test preparation classes in Nepal.
