Despite the Pearson Test of English (PTE Core) being approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for Canada work and visa applications (except the Student Direct Stream), it has not yet been accepted by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).

From February 12, PTE Core tests can be taken for economic immigration through the federal Express Entry-related programs., alongside CELPIP and IELTS tests.

BC PNP plans to accept PTE Core in the fall of 2024. The BC PNP currently accepts IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General, Test d’evaluation de francais (TEF), and Test de connaissance du francais (TCF).
