- The calculator converts scores using versioned Canada language data.
- Choose the relevant PGWP education pathway and see whether your language profile appears to meet it.
Why this section matters
Many applicants guess whether their practice scores are "good enough" and book expensive official tests too early. A structured eligibility check tool surfaces gaps by section before you commit to a test date—especially when immigration rules use per-skill minimums rather than one overall number.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating calculator output as guaranteed admission or visa approval.
- Entering Academic IELTS scores when the tool expects General Training or PTE Core mappings.
- Ignoring per-skill results when only the overall looks sufficient.
Your prep path
