Effective January 30, 2024, the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Core now test approved for all Canadian immigration pathways, excluding the Student Direct Stream (SDS). This update signifies broader acceptance and accessibility for immigration candidates, showcasing the PTE Core test as a viable language proficiency assessment option for various immigration avenues in Canada.
This suggests that PTE Core is now an option for candidates in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), candidates in Express Entry managed programs, and anyone needing a language proficiency test for any other Canadian immigration purpose, like applications for Canadian citizenship. This increase in acceptance gives a wider variety of immigration candidates more options and gives them more leeway in fulfilling the language competency standards for the specific immigration channels that lead to Canada.
