Hello,

• As of now, PTE exam is not acceptable for Canadian immigration PR process.

• IELTS is acceptable.

• In most countries where English is the main language of communication, evidence of acceptable English language skills is a prerequisite for applicants and international graduates seeking professional registration. Required proficiency levels vary between organizations, professions, by country and by jurisdiction. It is up to individual professional registration bodies to determine the IELTS band score and version of the test (Academic or General Training) they require.

• IELTS helps to

Assess English language skills at all levels – listening, reading, writing, speaking.

Communicating for real life context.

General Training – This is the training     for the candidates who are giving the    exam for migrating or pursuing. secondary education, or any work experience to Australia, New Zealand,  anada and UK.

The General Training version of IELTS  measures English language  proficiency in a practical, everyday  context and the tasks and texts reflect both workplace and social situations.

This is the version of the test usually required for vocational training, for  example in the construction,   hospitality and leisure, and tourism   industries.

• If you are applying for a work visa, professional recognition or for permanent residency in Canada, it is likely that you will be required to present evidence of English language proficiency.

• Other professional bodies in particular countries requiring an IELTS result include accounting, engineering, law and veterinarypractice.
