Australia’s Department of Home Affairs recently approved three new English language tests for immigration and visa purposes effective from 7 August 2025. The newly accepted tests are CELPIP General,LanguageCert Academic, and Michigan English Test (MET). The updated policy expands the list of accepted English tests from five to nine, offering more flexibility and consistency across providers. It also brought in revised minimum score thresholds across all tests (including older ones like IELTS, PTE Academic, OET, TOEFL iBT, and C1 Advanced) to better align with Australia's visa proficiency levels The changes do not apply to online or at-home versions of tests (e.g., MET Digital, IELTS Online, CELPIP Online), which remain unacceptable for visa applications.

F.A.Qs
IELTS- what is the difference between Academic/General/UKVI/CD-IELTS/IELTS life skills?
- Academic IELTS: Primarily intended for those applying to higher education institutions for academic purposes, with more focus on academic reading and writing skills.
- General Training IELTS: Designed for individuals seeking immigration, work, or training opportunities in English-speaking countries. It evaluates practical, everyday language skills, including reading and writing tasks related to daily life.
- IELTS Life Skills: This version assesses speaking and listening skills in a practical, everyday context. It is often required for visa applications to the UK and is available at two levels: A1 and B1.
- UKVI (United Kingdom Visas and Immigration) IELTS: In terms of format, it is essentially the same as the Academic and General Training IELTS, but with additional security measures to meet the requirements of the UK government for visa and immigration purposes.
- CD_IELTS- The IELTS test where the test-taker uses a computer to complete the listening, reading, and writing sections of the exam. The speaking section, however, is still conducted face-to-face with an examiner.
This format provides certain advantages such as faster results (usually within 5-7 days) and more frequent test dates compared to the paper-based format. However, it's essential for test-takers to be familiar with the computer-based test environment, especially if they have initially practiced with paper-based materials.

Starting 12 February 2024, one can take the PTE Core test for a Canada PR visa or a Canada work visa.
- PTE General: This test evaluates communicative skills and general language proficiency. It is often used for professional and migration purposes. PTE General consists of six levels (A1 to C2), each assessing language proficiency at different competency levels.
- PTE Young Learners: Designed for students aged 6 to 13, PTE Young Learners assesses English language skills in an age-appropriate manner. It consists of three levels: Firstwords (ages 4-5), Springboard (ages 6-7), and Quickmarch (ages 8-13).
