OTTAWA NOW ACCEPTS THE PEARSON TEST OF ENGLISH FOR CANADIAN IMMIGRATION

Starting from January 30, 2024, prospective immigrants exploring various pathways to Canada have a new opportunity to showcase their language proficiency. In a significant development, the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Core test is now accepted across all immigration pathways, excluding the Student Direct Stream (SDS). This inclusive approach encompasses Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates, participants in Express Entry managed programs, and individuals seeking a language test for Canadian immigration or citizenship (excluding SDS).

The PTE Core, a two-hour computer-based language test, meticulously evaluates everyday English skills, encompassing speaking, writing, reading, and listening proficiencies. This versatile assessment is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation, ensuring that candidates are well-equipped to communicate effectively in various real-life situations.

In this pivotal shift, the PTE Core replaces the PTE Essential test. Prospective immigrants are urged to verify the specific requirements of their chosen program to guarantee they opt for the correct test, aligning with their unique goals and aspirations.
