Overview

Conversion tables for IELTS General, PTE Core, CELPIP and TEF, plus what each CLB level is worth in CRS points.

This page is written for applicants mapping English tests to PR / skilled-migration rules (not student-visa country guides) — not as a replacement for the destination government’s immigration site.

How to use this

Student-visa English and PR / skilled English are often different sittings.
Use the destination government’s instrument in force, not a 2023 screenshot.
Country study costs live on destination guides, not here.
