4. Does Duolingo Affect Your Study Permit?
This is the question most Bangladeshi students ask, and the answer has changed. Duolingo used to be a problem because the Student Direct Stream (SDS) accepted only a fixed list of tests. SDS ended on 8 November 2024 and every application is now processed as a regular study permit, so there is no separate test list to satisfy for the visa.
- IRCC no longer sets an English score for your study permit — the institution sets its own requirement
- If a Canadian DLI accepts your Duolingo score and issues a Letter of Acceptance, that letter is what supports your application
- Advice that says "Duolingo is not valid for SDS" is out of date — the stream it refers to no longer exists, and it is not coming back
- Ignore advertised processing times; check IRCC's official processing times tool for the current estimate
