Study Permit to Enter Canada
Qualified international students are admitted to TWU on the same basis as Canadian students.
A study permit (student visa) is required in order to study in Canada for longer than 6 months. If a student is coming to study for only one semester, no study permit is required. See the Canadian Immigration website for more details.
English Proficiency
Students who are not mother-tongue speakers of English must meet one of the following English language requirements:
- IELTS score of 7.5 on all bands
- TOEFL score of 105 iBT
- Duolingo score of 140
