Exactly. Unfortunately people want to get here so desperately, the don't see the big picture.I personally feel rather than going to a college that accepts your score or waste 3000 CAD on EAP courses why not take the time and study English. It will be much cheaper that EAP and doing EAP does not guarantee a visa or something. I would prefer to go to a college I want to be based on the course and not based on one which accepts my IELTS score. Besides later on if you really want to work in Canada or any other western country you are going to need to speak English proficiently.
