Universities in English provinces in Canada do not have admission exams, and university admission is based on the comprehensive assessment of the provincial examination results in the three-year high school stage. The application deadline for undergraduate international students is generally February or January, and the approximate time for admission is after North American Labor Day in early September.
More famous Canadian universities will require high school students to score no less than 85 points in each subject in each semester in three years, and there will also be clear requirements for language ability. For example, the University of Toronto requires IELTS scores above 6.5 points, and the individual scores must not be less than 6 points.

After entering the school, they need to study language for compulsory and can also study undergraduate credit courses at the same time. Once the language exam meets the standards, they can automatically become formal undergraduates. If the standards are not met, you cannot upgrade even if you complete the undergraduate major credits, and you will be even more unlikely to graduate.
