Know the key differences between the two PTE exams.
CLB (Canadian Language Benchmarks) is the national standard for English language proficiency in Canada. IRCC uses CLB levels to assess applicants. PTE Core scores map directly to CLB levels – for example, a PTE score of 60–68 in Listening = CLB 8. Your overall CLB is determined by your lowest individual skill level.
Yes! PTE Core has been accepted by IRCC since late 2023 for all Express Entry streams – Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST). It's also accepted by most Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) and for Canadian citizenship applications.
PTE Core tests everyday English for immigration, while PTE Academic tests academic English for university admissions. PTE Core has two unique tasks: Write Email and Respond to a Situation. Core has no Essay or Retell Lecture. Scores map to CLB levels.
Higher CLB scores earn significantly more CRS points – CLB 9+ can add over 120 extra CRS points.
Yes, completely free – no premium tiers, no credit card, no signup needed. We use AI (DeepSeek V3) to score writing and speaking tasks, and Groq Whisper for speech recognition. The site is funded by advertising. That's it.
Our CLB calculator uses the official PTE Core → CLB equivalency table published by Pearson in the January 2026 score guide. The conversion is exact – same table used by IRCC. Your overall CLB is your lowest individual skill CLB.
