Hi, im planning to apply for student visa im confuse about what English exams accepted by Philippine Canadian embassy, my school is accepting IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC exams, but they said to me that before i take the exams be sure to inquire the philippine embassy if they allow the other exams other than IELTS. Im planning to take the TOEIC exam because it is much cheaper than IELTS exam and also TOEIC exam can know the result after taking the exam unlike IELTS the result will be available after 2 weeks, and for registering the exam TOEIC can register for a week before taking the exam but in IELTS the registration period should be 2 weeks before the exam.

Here’s a quick 101 on the differences between each.
TOEFL : Otherwise known as the Test of English as a Foreign Language, this exam is currently the most common for non-native English speakers. The TOEFL is often a requirement at most colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and other English-speaking countries. In addition, government agencies, licensing bodies, businesses or scholarship programs might also require the TOEFL. At this present time, an individual’s TOEFL score is valid for two years and then subject for re-evaluation after the two-year period.
IELTS : Otherwise known as the International English Language Testing System, the IELTS is administered by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, the British Council & IDP Education. There are two primary versions of the IELTS: the academic version & the general training version. Basically, the academic version is meant for students who want to enroll in universities and other higher education institutions, as well as for medical professions, such as doctors or nurses who need to work or study in an English-speaking country. The general training version is meant for those looking to gain work experience or for purely immigration purposes.
TOEIC : The TOEIC is an acronym for the Test of English for International Communication. As quoted from the TOEIC website: “The TOEIC is an English language test designed specifically to measure the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment.” The point system ranges from 10 to 990 points and the test itself is two hours in length, multiple choice, testing listening comprehension and reading comprehension.
