TOEFL/IELTS waiver / Sending score GMAT

[hs202]

Hey

Question 1
I got admission in a university which waived my TOEFL score because my medium of instruction in undergrad was in English. I have got an email from the Canadian university confirming this waiver.

Now should I just take print out of the email and attach it to my profile. OR should I get another letter from my Pakistani university of English as medium of instruction letter and attach it to my profile.

Having said that I had also given a TOEFL a year back (and got 107). I didnt get any hard copy of the score but I can go and print it from website. Should I attach this TOEFL score too.

Question 2
I took a GMAT exam and want to attach it to my application. The problem is that when I first took my GMAT, I sent scores to 5 Canadian universities for which I didnot get admission. Later I sent additional score to the university that I got admission into. The score sheet that I have lists name of the 5 universities for which I did not get admission. Shoudl I take print of this score sheet (without the name of my admitted university no. 6) and add another printout which just states that I sent my scores to these 6 universities.

Both of my above questions are based on the assumption that we can not ask the GMAT/TOEFL test taking authorities to send scores directly to Canadian embassy and we have to ourselves take printouts and send scores. I hope my assumption is true

Thanks

it is uselss even if yr undergrad was taught in english if u are not from a native english speaking country of England, Australia, Canada, USA! I have been educated all my life in english from primary school to my current status with 3 masters from Australia, Canada and USA! The canadian immigration officer requires u to submit either ILETS score or a written proof of yr english proficiency if u are not a from the above native english speaking countries! It is useless even if u submit GMAT or any other scores other than ILETS! If u do not mind whatever the score the immigration grants u for your english proficiency score then take the risk of not sending in your ILETS!

There is no such waiver of ILETS unless u are from the above native english speaking countries!

WHat about TOEFL.
Do they immigration ppl accept TOEFL internet based test as an alternative to IELTS

yes, TOEFL is acceptable. If your GMAT score is good, its better to send it. You can send original result card sent to you by ETS.

Hi

Please don't give out erroneous information. The only test that CIC/CHC accepts for English proficiency is IELTS or CELPIP or a letter outlining your abilities (this seldom works).

Well, that was from personal experience, I only took TOEFL and CHC never objected it. I apologize if that was incorrect.

I guess toefl is acceptable.
To be honest, the university did not require a toefl from me and accepted my waiver.
CHC will also accept my waiver but i would still send them the TOEFL score as I got a 107 of 120

As per my understanding (which might be erroneous) I haven't read any where that TOEFL is not required. In fact tOEFL is not a CHC requirement but a university requirement

See the link below, it hints that TOEFL is ok
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/guide/section-06.asp
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-language-training.asp

See link below. It hints that TOEFL is only required if it is a condition in your acceptance letter
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/pub/acclet-e.pdf

In fact I looked at my acceptance letter again. The column read "Any conditions (e.g. TOEFL, Partial Payment)" and this column was left blank by my university as it is not applicable to me

 

[kista]

Yea, I also don't think that IELTS is a must. I didn't send any test result(though I took TOEFL) and my visa officer never asked about it(though my visa is still in process).

For study permit CIC accept IELTS and TOEFL as well, but in my opinion IELTS is much easier then TOEFL. So, if you want go for IELTS.

same here... my university waivered me from taking ielts and toefel beacause i had 87% in O level english... and i didnt send anything concerning my english to CHC

 

[hs202]

@saeed
did CHC ask for a toefl/ielts. whats ur application status

 

[saeed khan]

no they didnt..... my application is still in process... got my medical done on 26th of november. if they needed toelf or ielts they would have never asked me to get my medical test... they would have returned my documents labelled application incomplete. =) my classes start on 4th of jan

saeed

Did ur acceptance letter had any other conditions.
Mine has none (it is blank)

 

[saeed khan]

my acceptance is unconditional just like urs
