Exemption and tests not listed
Applicants who studied for at least four years at a post-secondary institution where English was the language of instruction and testing can apply for an exemption. The rule names no country, so a four-year English-medium bachelor's from India, Pakistan or Nigeria may qualify; ask admissions before you skip the test.
PTE Academic and CAEL are not on Regent's list.

Validity and how to check
Scores are valid for a maximum of two years. Regent advises applying by 1 January to be considered for financial aid for the coming academic year, and sends study permit documents after you confirm admission and pay the deposit.
Requirements vary by program and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Regent College program page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test. Admission scores are separate from immigration rules: see IELTS for a Canada study permit and IELTS for the Canada PGWP.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Regent College publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
