How PTE Aspirants Are Affected by the Study & Job Visa Slump

Introduction

The Pearson Test of English (PTE) is widely accepted for study and work visas in Australia, Canada, and the UK. However, PTE aspirants are affected by the study and job visa slump due to  recent policy changes and economic uncertainty, leading to slower visa approvals. Many test takers are now reconsidering their immigration plans.

At Casper Academy, a leading PTE coaching institute in Kochi, we guide students on how to adapt to the changing immigration landscape.

Why Are Work & Study Visas Delayed?

  • Australia’s New Immigration Caps – The government is reducing student intakes, impacting universities.
  • Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Restrictions – Fewer students are getting work permits after graduation.
  • UK’s Dependent Visa Ban – International students can no longer bring family members, discouraging applicants.

Expected Recovery Timeline for PTE Aspirants

  • Australia & Canada may ease restrictions by mid-2025.
  • Germany & Ireland remain strong options for PTE test takers.

How to Secure a Visa Despite the Challenges

  1. Boost Your PTE Score – A high PTE Academic score (above 79) increases visa approval chances.
  2. Choose Demand-Driven Courses – Healthcare, IT, and engineering degrees have higher visa success rates.
  3. Apply for PR Instead of Study Visas – Some candidates are switching to direct Permanent Residency (PR) applications.
