2. Canada - Canadian provinces such as Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia accept IELTS scores for certain skilled worker programs and business immigration streams.
3. New Zealand - The New Zealand government recognizes IELTS for various immigration categories, including the Skilled Migrant Category and Family Category.
