IELTS in Madagascar — the fee in euros, the Antananarivo test centre and the scores your route needs

The British Council runs IELTS at its English Teaching Program on Rue Rainitovo, Antsahavola, Antananarivo. Every listed session is on computer, including IELTS for UKVI. One Skill Retake and Life Skills are not listed for Madagascar.

Australia's Proficient English (IELTS 7.0 each) adds 10 points and Superior (8.0 each) adds 20, achieved within three years of the visa application. Canada accepts only IELTS General Training for Express Entry, and the result must be under two years old. UK universities usually ask 6.0 to 6.5 for undergraduate and 6.5 to 7.0 for postgraduate study. The United States sets no IELTS or PTE score for the student visa: each university sets its own, and some do not accept PTE at all.

French speakers have a second route into Express Entry: IRCC also accepts two French tests, TEF Canada and TCF Canada, measured on the NCLC scale, and the English and French results must each be less than two years old.
