TOEFL for Engineering & Technology in Canada — from Malaysia

Planning to study Engineering & Technology in Canada from Malaysia — perhaps as an engineer? Here's the TOEFL you'll need, the score range universities there look for, and how to confirm it on the new 1.0–6.0 scale.

The TOEFL score for Engineering & Technology in Canada

On the new 1.0–6.0 scale, university programmes commonly target roughly 4.0–5.5 overall (B2–C1); the retiring 0–120 equivalent most institutions still list is about 80–100. Set per programme — confirm both during the transition.

Nearly all Canadian universities accept TOEFL for admission (for PR, though, IRCC uses IELTS General Training, CELPIP or PTE Core — not TOEFL iBT). Globally, TOEFL iBT is accepted by more than 13,000 universities and institutions across over 160 countries. Confirm the exact score your programme needs on its official admissions page.

Your overall TOEFL score is now the AVERAGE of the four sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing), each scored 1.0–6.0 in half-band steps — not the old 0–120 sum. The scale is CEFR-aligned.

The Engineering & Technology requirement is set per programme (postgraduate often higher) — confirm the current figure on the university's official page. Many universities and visa authorities are still updating their thresholds during the 2026–2028 transition — confirm the current figure (and which scale, new 1–6 or old 0–120) on the official source before you rely on it.

Coming from Malaysia: funded study and which test the scholarship accepts

  • Named scholarships you may search: JPA (Public Service Department), MARA, Yayasan Khazanah, Chevening — most accept TOEFL or IELTS, but confirm each programme's accepted tests.
  • TOEFL is widely accepted for university admission; for any visa or PR step, check that route separately (TOEFL is not accepted for Canada PR or UK visas).
  • Recognition: MQA — Malaysian Qualifications Agency.

How students in Malaysia search

  • biasiswa belajar luar negara
  • biasiswa JPA luar negara
  • study abroad scholarship Malaysia
  • belajar overseas tanpa TOEFL
  • biasiswa MARA

English is widely used in Malaysian education, so TOEFL is often waived where prior study was English-medium; government and competitive scholarships may still require TOEFL/IELTS.
