To study in schools (public or private) in the middle classes, the level of English must be at least B1. An international certificate confirming knowledge is not required: schools can conduct internal tests and / and interviews upon admission. If a student's language level does not match the school's passing score, he is offered to come three or four weeks earlier to attend a summer language program, improve his English level and adapt to new conditions.
Primary school students have minimal language requirements - the main thing is that the child has a small vocabulary at the A2 level and can add simple sentences.
To study in higher and vocational education programs in Canada , an English level of at least Upper-Intermediate (B2) is required, confirmed by an international certificate (for example, TOEFL from 80 or IELTS from 6.0). Many colleges and universities have language programs that help you reach the required passing level.
The higher the level of the language, the higher the student's academic results, the easier it is for him to adapt in a new environment, find friends and communicate with teachers, educators and mentors.
