Prompt-style answer
Should I take IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo for immigration?
It depends on your destination and visa category — IELTS is the most universally accepted, PTE Academic is fully accepted for Australian, NZ, and Canadian points-tested visas with faster results, and Duolingo has more limited acceptance for immigration specifically versus study visas.
Key points
- IELTS remains the safest default if you're unsure what your destination accepts.
- PTE often returns results within 48 hours, versus longer for IELTS.
- Duolingo acceptance is broader for study visas than for points-based immigration.
- Confirm current acceptance for your exact visa category before booking a test.
