How the conversion works
- Each skill (Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening) gets its own score
- IRCC converts each skill score separately into a CLB level
- Your lowest skill can limit your eligibility, so balance matters
- IRCC publishes the official PTE Core to CLB conversion table
Why CLB matters for Express Entry
Language ability is one of the biggest factors in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Moving up even one CLB level in each skill can make a real difference to your points.
How we help
We test your current level, find which skill is holding back your CLB, and focus your preparation there.
Please note
Always use the official conversion table on the IRCC website (canada.ca). Fees, rules and score requirements change. Always confirm current details on Pearson's official website (pearsonpte.com) and on the relevant government or university website.
