What IELTS score does the University of Winnipeg require?

You can ask Admissions for a waiver with ten consecutive years of residency in Canada, three years of full-time English education in Canada, Grade 12 English at 70% from a Manitoba, Canadian or Canadian-curriculum high school, IB Higher Level English at 4 or AP English at 3. Three years of full-time English education also counts in an English Exempt Country.

UWinnipeg's English Exempt Country list does not include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal or Sri Lanka, and the university can still ask for a standardised test. English language tests older than two years are not considered at either level, and students are not admitted until the requirement is met.

UWinnipeg'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 for CLB 7 in all four skills if you graduate with a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree, and CLB 7 too if you graduate from "any other university program", which must also be in an eligible field of study if you applied for your study permit on or after 1 November 2024. The lower CLB 5 applies only to college, polytechnic and other non-university programs. On IELTS General Training, CLB 7 is 6.0 in each skill (IRCC score table). The PGWP takes IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General or PTE Core, not IELTS Academic (see IELTS for the PGWP).
