What IELTS score does Centennial College require?

Centennial lists additional English requirements on the program pages for Medical Laboratory Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Practical Nursing, Practical Nursing Flex and Workplace Wellness and Health Promotion, so check those pages before booking a test.

A test validity period, and a position on IELTS One Skill Retake and IELTS Online, are not stated by Centennial on this page.

You can instead show two or more consecutive full years at a school or college where English is the primary language of instruction, or a Grade 12 college or university stream English course from an OSSD-granting school. Centennial's English Language Learning program counts at level 5 with 60% in all three courses, or 80% for graduate certificates.

Centennial's scores decide admission only. IRCC sets no minimum English score for a study permit; any language condition is written into your letter of acceptance (see IELTS for a Canada study permit). The Post-Graduation Work Permit is a separate test again. IRCC's PGWP eligibility page asks graduates of college, polytechnic and other non-university programs for CLB 5 in all four skills, and anyone who graduated with a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree for CLB 7. On IELTS General Training, CLB 5 is Reading 4.0 and Writing, Listening and Speaking 5.0 (IRCC score table). The PGWP takes IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General or PTE Core, not IELTS Academic, and college programs also face a field-of-study rule if you applied for your study permit on or after 1 November 2024 (see IELTS for the PGWP).
