No worries, my friend got a visa with TOEFL. He applied through VFS Bangalore. Go ahead and stop worrying, no explanation needed for giving a TOEFL score!

Did your toefl score meet the minimum required by your university? If it did then you can include it.
I got admitted to Saskatchewan and got toefl score of 95 above schools required of 80. I submitted toefl.

Just ask your school for a Waiver letter and include it in your application
ya i asked them about the waiver letter but they said i don't need that .....coz providing English proficiency certificate instead of test scores is also one of their requirement.
So they wont give that letter.

Is there any English test waiver will be given by the department?

Thanks.

Hello,

Applicants who completed their Degree in an English medium are not required to provide an English proficiency test.

Did you provide/submit any English proficiency certificate?

Was the correspondence between you and the school about the waiver letter on email or you accessed the info based on their website?

if you have an English language certificate, then you have nothing to worry about, just include it to your documents and indicate it in your SOP.. you will be fine
