What IELTS score do you need for Coquitlam College?

ENGL 099 is a conditional English course. While you take it you may only take a set list of other courses, including ACCT 101, CSCI 100 and 130, several MATH and STAT courses, BIOL, CHEM and PHYS courses, and introductory language courses. You cannot enter regular studies until you pass ENGL 099, and from January 2027 students in ENGL 099 must also take EDUC 101 in the same semester.

CAEL 70 and BC English 12 at 67% are the other ENGL 101 routes. Without any of these you may sit the Coquitlam College English Proficiency Test, and the college says one or more preparatory semesters of English Studies may be needed.

Coquitlam College describes its first- and second-year courses as transferable, through the BC Transfer Guide, into the second or third year of a bachelor's degree at universities such as UBC, SFU, UVic and UNBC. Those universities run their own admission checks when you transfer.

Coquitlam College's scores decide admission only. Immigration is a separate set of tests: for the study permit see IELTS for a Canada study permit, and for whether a Post-Graduation Work Permit applies after your program and which test and level it needs, see IELTS for the Canada PGWP. The college also has a regulated international student immigration advisor (RISIA) on campus for permit and PGWP questions.
