Do I need IELTS for Canadian scholarships?

Most Canadian universities accept IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL 86+. Anglophone-educated applicants can request an MoI waiver from many universities.

Do scholarship holders get post-graduation work permits in Canada?

Yes — the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international graduates from eligible Canadian DLIs to work in Canada for up to three years after completing studies.
