International students from countries considered as non-native speakers of English can now study in some Canadian universities without passing International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test.

This is a pleasant surprise for those who are learning about this for the first time. In reality, even the Canadian Embassy is now allowing overseas students to study in Canada without having to take IELTS.

There are a few optional roads that an international student can follow so as to study in Canadian universities without taking or passing the IELTS test. Before jumping into some specific information regarding which universities in Canada make IELTS discretionary, you still need to check the international student entry requirements (https://studying-in-canada.org/admission-requirements/) of the university you want to attend.
