There isn't one blanket answer for the entire country. According to the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials, it depends on the specific university you are applying for and the language in which their instruction is presented. Specifically, they say:

"Most institutions in Canada require demonstration of proficiency in their language of instruction (either English or French), usually through the achievement of a certain minimum score in a standardized language test. You should confirm the details of the language requirement with the Office of Admissions of the university or college to which you are applying.

CAEL Logo If you are looking for an assessment of your English language proficiency, consider the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Assessment. This test effectively measures your ability in reading, listening, writing and speaking proficiency for academic purposes. For detailed information and test dates, check out www.cael.ca."

That said, it is always good to take a language that is different from your native one, no matter what college you are attending.

Good luck!
