ETS announces a significant development for Canadian immigration applicants as the TOEFL Essentials test gains approval from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as a designated language testing option.

This efficient 90-minute assessment evaluates all four core language skills through practical tasks relevant to daily life in Canada.

While implementation details are forthcoming, this accessible English proficiency test will soon provide immigrants with a reliable pathway to demonstrate their language capabilities, supporting Canada's 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan aimed at attracting skilled talent across healthcare, engineering, technology, and trades sectors.
