Is my PTE score of 62 overall sufficient for visa requirements or should I take IELTS for a Postgraduate?

Yes, your PTE score of 62 meets the minimum required for a Canadian study visa, including the Student Direct Stream (SDS), where the typical cutoff is 60.

However, many Canadian universities set their own English requirements, often around 65 or higher for postgraduate programs. While your score is sufficient for the visa, you should check if it meets your chosen institution’s admission criteria.

You only need to take IELTS if your university specifically asks for it or if you want to strengthen your application with a higher English score.
