Duolingo questions

Common decisions.

  • 5,000+ universities accept it but not all. We confirm acceptance for your full target list before recommending Duolingo as your primary test.

  • No. IRCC does not accept Duolingo for Express Entry, PR, or work permits. IELTS-General, CELPIP-General, TEF, or TCF are required.

  • Most students reach their target in 4–6 weeks. Lower entry cost means many students take the test multiple times.

Duolingo isn’t for everyone. We’ll tell you honestly.

Free assessment confirms test fit.
