The Australian Citizenship and Immigration Department has started English language test for the immigrants to the country. Opting for this test will help the immigrants to understand the history, tradition and values of the country.

The main purpose of this test is to prove that the applicants for Australian citizenship’s are proficient in English. Due to the lack of knowledge about English language, many migrants are unable to understand the questions asked in the process of immigration.

However, for new immigrants, English language test may sound difficult, as English competency is a controversial point for migrants. Moreover, the immigrants always have the fear of not passing the test and getting deported. As a result of which, in the year of 2010, from October to December, only 9043 migrants among 30,000 migrants applied for the language test.

In earlier period of time, the migrants and displaced people who came to Australia under the humanitarian section of the Australian Migration Program were facing language problem. They were the people, who wanted to become the citizens of the country but were not able to access the consular services of their previous native-land, as they didn’t have a new passport due to not passing through the test.

According to the Federation of NSW Teachers’, the government of the country should allow the earlier basic test system of spoken English, since this citizenship language test is preventing migrants and refugee groups from obtaining the Australian citizenship.
