What IELTS score do you need for Vancouver Film School?

VFS also accepts CELPIP Level 7, Cambridge B2 at 176 or higher and Oxford/OIDI Level 7. Without a test you can qualify with three years of full-time secondary school (Grades 8 to 12, or two years if they are Grades 10 to 12) in a country where English is a principal language; IGCSE English at grade C/5 as a first language or B/6 as a second language; IB English A1 or A2 at grade 5; or two years of full-time post-secondary study at an accredited institution where English is the language of instruction.

That post-secondary route names no country, so two years at an English-medium college in India, Pakistan or Nigeria may meet it; check with your admissions advisor. VFS also lists Vancouver ESL schools whose levels count, such as ELS Level 109, EF Level B2 and Canadian College Level 140.

If you have not passed an approved test you may be accepted on a conditional basis. You then report to your admissions advisor on what you are doing to improve your English, and you must pass an approved test no later than one month before your start date or risk having your enrolment postponed or cancelled.

VFS'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. VFS notes that programs longer than six months need a study permit and lists its DLI number as O19239015912.
