TOEFL is not extensively accepted around the world like IELTS, but these days the TOEFL test is also gaining more popularity as an academic language test for university admissions. TOEFL is not accepted for permanent immigration to Canada. This means the Canadian universities accept TOEFL but not the immigration authorities.
The universities in Canada expect international students to be proficient in the English language for various study programs. To study, one can choose IELTS with a minimum required score, which the universities later accept.
Most colleges and institutions offering diploma and degree programs will inform which scores are needed to obtain admission.
