How it works
- Select a Canada immigration or language goal such as Federal Skilled Worker, CLB 9 planning, or citizenship.
- Review the suggested CLB target and notes for that pathway.
- Open the CLB to PTE Core converter to turn that CLB target into section score goals.
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
