Waivers and English pathways

Ways U of T says you may not need to submit a PTE score, or may reach the requirement another way.

Exemption from the English test if you have completed or are completing four or more years of full-time study in an English-language school in a country where English is the dominant language. Exemption is requested after applying, via a form on the applicant portal.
Official wording
“four or more years of full-time study in an English language school located in a country where the dominant language is English”

Exemption for four or more years of full-time study in a recognized Canadian school in Canada.
Official wording
“four or more years of full-time study in a recognized Canadian school (in Canada)”
From future.utoronto.ca, read on 13 Oct 2026.
The page lists countries where four years of English-medium study may qualify for exemption (for example the UK, US, Australia, Ireland, Singapore, Nigeria). India does not appear in that list as read, so Indian applicants should expect to present a test unless another exemption applies. The list is informational and eligibility is decided after applying.
Official wording
“You may qualify for an exemption if you have studied in English (for at least four years) in any of the following countries/territories:”

If academically qualified but below the English requirement, an applicant may be considered for an English Language Transition Program (six weeks to eight months, offered on all three campuses). Meeting the language requirement is a condition of admission.

“Offered on all three campuses and ranging from six weeks to eight months, these programs build your English skills”

A senior-level English course (equivalent to Ontario ENG4U) is required for admission to all undergraduate programmes, but it does not replace the language test.
Official wording
“No. A senior-level English course is required for admission, but it does not meet the English language proficiency requirement.”

What to practise for U of T

Every skill carries the same highest minimum on this page: 60, set by the Bachelor's row. No single skill stands out, so start with your lowest skill score on your latest score report.

Which PTE test, and how long a score lasts

PTE Academic	Accepted
PTE Academic UKVI	Accepted
PTE Core	Not stated on the pages we checked

Only the undergraduate admissions page (future.utoronto.ca) was read. It lists PTE Academic and says PTE Academic UKVI sittings are accepted. It does not mention PTE Core or a PTE Academic Online variant. Graduate (masters/PhD) and professional programmes set their own requirements on separate pages that were not read, so no postgraduate rows are recorded.

Pearson's own rules on validity are in our PTE score validity guide. Compare tests in PTE Academic vs Core vs UKVI.

Confirm on the programme page before you book or apply

English requirements can differ by course, faculty and intake, and universities change them. These figures are what U of T's pages said when we checked on 13 October 2026. A requirement that is not on this page may still exist for your course. The official pages we used:
