USask PTE minimums by level
From USask's undergraduate English language proficiency page and the graduate admission requirements page, which calls this level "fully qualified".

|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 63 | 59 in reading, listening, speaking and writing |
| Graduate (fully qualified) | 63 | 59 in each area |
Test rules and how to send your score
Both pages say scores must come from one exam date and cannot be combined with other dates. The undergraduate page says tests are valid for two years and must be no more than two years old at the start of your term; the graduate page says 24 months and valid at the beginning of the term. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or how to send PTE results.
On the undergraduate page Duolingo needs 120 with 100 in each area, and CAEL 70 with 60 in each part, alongside PTE 63 with 59s.

If you fall short
The University of Saskatchewan Language Centre is now permanently closed, though its English for Academic Purposes Level 4 results remain valid for up to two years. Both pages also accept the University of Regina's EAP 100 and EAP 101. Neither page gives a PTE entry score for these courses.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your USask programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
