Language requirements
Compared with finance, law, education and other majors, Canadian universities don't require high language scores for art students. Usually, students only need IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 80. Some Canadian art colleges have low requirements for language scores, such as IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 70. Please refer to the enrollment situation of Canadian art colleges over the years.
