Is IELTS only applicable for New Zealand or are there other countries open for dependent visas in UK/Australia in Canada?
IELTS is not only applicable for New Zealand; it is accepted for dependent visa applications in several countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and sometimes the United States.
Each country sets its own English language requirements for dependents:
- Australia: IELTS is accepted for many dependent visa categories.
- Canada: IELTS General Training is accepted for immigration, including dependents; required scores vary by visa.
- UK: IELTS for UKVI (a Secure English Language Test) is required for most dependent visas.
- US: Requirements vary by visa type; IELTS may not always be needed for dependents.
English test requirements, accepted tests, and minimum scores are subject to change and depend on the country and visa type.
