TORONTO - s4story -- As Canada continues to welcome skilled immigrants through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), the demand for accessible English proficiency testing options has surged. The Pearson Test of English Core (PTE Core) was officially accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in late 2023, offering a fully computer-based alternative to the traditional IELTS General Training exam.

For many prospective permanent residency applicants, PTE Core is an attractive option due to its unbiased AI scoring model and typically faster result turnaround times. However, the transition to a new exam format has presented significant challenges. Unlike established tests with decades of study materials, resources for the relatively new PTE Core exam remain scarce. Candidates often struggle to find high-quality, exam-realistic practice questions—particularly for the speaking and listening modules which require specialized audio processing and precise timing.

The cost of preparation is another major barrier. Comprehensive training courses and official mock tests can run into hundreds of dollars, adding to the already high costs of immigration applications. This financial burden often leaves self-study candidates at a disadvantage, without access to the feedback mechanisms necessary to improve their pronunciation, fluency, and overall speaking scores. To achieve the high Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels required for a competitive Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, continuous practice with instant feedback is essential.

Addressing these challenges, a new comprehensive solution has been released for the community. PTE Core Practice ( https://ptecorepractice.com ) is a free, web-based platform designed specifically to level the playing field for all Canada PR applicants.

The platform provides full coverage of all 12 PTE Core question types, including the complex Read Aloud, Repeat Sentence, Describe Image, and Respond to a Situation tasks. What sets it apart is the integration of advanced speech recognition technology that offers users instant, AI-powered scoring aligned with official PTE Core scoring dimensions. This allows candidates to practice speaking tasks on their own device and receive immediate feedback on their performance.

"We built this tool because we believe access to high-quality exam preparation shouldn't be a luxury," said Justin Zhou, the platform's creator. "Every candidate deserves a fair chance to maximize their CLB score and their immigration prospects."

In addition to practice questions, the platform features a dedicated CLB score calculator, helping users translate their practice scores into their expected Canadian Language Benchmark levels. This feature is crucial for applicants planning their Express Entry profiles.

The platform is fully mobile-responsive and requires no installation, making it easy to practice on the go. To start practicing for free, visit https://ptecorepractice.com for immediate access.
