Studying abroad can be one of the most exciting journeys in a student’s life—but it also comes with challenges. Between proving your English proficiency, gathering documents, and navigating complex immigration rules, the process can feel overwhelming.

That’s why the Duolingo English Test (DET) is working to remove barriers. In an exciting move, DET has partnered with BorderPass, a digital platform that combines lawyer-backed immigration expertise with intuitive tools. Together, they’re making the path to studying in Canada simpler, faster, and more secure.


🚀 How the Partnership Works

BorderPass guides students through every stage of the Canadian study permit process—from the very first application to setting foot on campus.

Here’s what this partnership means for you:

  • Integrated DET Scores: Your results are sent directly through the BorderPass platform, ensuring secure and official verification.
  • Legal Review: A licensed Canadian immigration lawyer checks your documents before submission to IRCC, helping avoid mistakes and delays.
  • Smooth Experience: With expert support, you can focus on preparing for your studies rather than worrying about complicated paperwork.

This system ensures that the DET scores you used for university admission are authentic and verified, giving both you and Canadian institutions confidence in the process.

🏫 Backed by Canadian Institutions

BorderPass already partners with well-known Canadian universities like Queen’s University, University of Alberta, and Vancouver Island University. Their involvement shows just how important this innovation is for supporting international students.

Even better—all Anglophone U15 universities in Canada (the country’s leading research institutions) plus the top ten universities by international student enrollment accept the Duolingo English Test.

That means hundreds of programs across Canada recognize DET as proof of English proficiency.
