IELTS and skilled worker immigrant class

By immlawyer

I've been approached by a couple of rejected applicants under the skilled worker class. These individuals chose not to submit an IELTS exam and decided instead to provide other documentation to establish their language proficiency. Where the applicant is from a non native English speaking country an approved language test ought to be provided because it takes the guesswork out of determining the applicants score. A refusal based on language proficiency established by other evidence can be reviewed by the Federal Court. Its an expensive route to remedy a refusal but given the fact that most applications have been in process for years, immigrants have a lot invested. Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
