You’ll typically need a PTE Academic score of 60 - 70 overall for admission to public health master’s programs in Canada, with no section below 50 - 60. For example, some universities require at least 60 in each component.
For the Canadian study permit (student visa), IRCC accepts the PTE score that meets your university’s admission criteria - there’s no separate minimum for the visa.
