 Looking back at my own journey to pursue a master's in Canada, the PTE score played a crucial role, especially for scholarship considerations. A 'good' PTE score can vary depending on the university and the scholarship criteria, but generally, a score of 65 or above is competitive. When I applied, my score was around 70, which helped me secure a partial scholarship. However, remember that scholarships are awarded based on a combination of factors like academic excellence, leadership qualities, and extracurricular achievements. So, while a strong PTE score is important, it should be part of a well-rounded application.

In my few years as a study abroad consultant, I've advised numerous students aiming for scholarships in Canadian universities. For the PTE, a score of 65 is generally the minimum to be considered for scholarships, but a score of 70 or above can significantly strengthen your application. Each university has its own criteria, so it's important to research specific requirements. Additionally, while a good PTE score is a plus, scholarships are also awarded based on academic achievements, leadership skills, and other personal accomplishments. Encourage a holistic approach in your application to maximize your chances.

When it comes to scholarships for master’s programs in Canada, a PTE score that demonstrates strong English proficiency is crucial. Typically, a score of 65 is considered good, but for more competitive MIM in Canada scholarships or prestigious institutions, aiming for 75 or higher is advisable. 

However, securing a scholarship is a holistic process. Along with a strong PTE score, emphasize your academic excellence, leadership experiences, community involvement, and any relevant work experience. These elements collectively tell the story of your potential as a scholarship recipient.
