What IELTS score does Georgian College require?

IELTS band minimums are not stated by Georgian outside Pharmacy Technician, so the table shows overall scores only. English tests older than two years will not be considered. A position on IELTS One Skill Retake and on IELTS Online is not stated by Georgian.

Exemption through study in English is stricter for some programs: BScN, Pharmacy Technician and Addictions: Treatment and Prevention need four years of English-medium secondary school instead of three.

Level 8 of Georgian's General Arts and Science – English for Academic Purposes counts: 70% or higher (or 60% in the certificate) for diplomas and certificates, 75% for degree studies and 80% for graduate certificates. It is N/A for HBSN, HBNA and Pharmacy Technician.

Georgian'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).
