01:31Let's begin with introduction of language test for spouse visa.
01:36Starting late 2025, all new SOWP applicants must prove English or French proficiency.
01:43This is a significant change from previous rules where no language test was required.
01:53Next, we explore categories affected under IMP.

02:11Individuals applying under any of these streams will now need to ensure they meet the updated criteria before submitting their applications.
02:20This change is expected to impact both new applicants and those planning to extend their current status.
02:26So it's important for anyone in these categories to review the new rules carefully to avoid delays or issues with their permits.
02:35Moving on to approved language test options.
02:38Applicants can choose from IELTS, CELPIP or TEF for French.
02:45Only general modules are accepted for proving language skills.
02:49Then we examine the implementation timeline and key reasons.
02:56The rule is expected to be enforced by the end of 2025.
03:04Key reasons include improving workplace communication, boosting economic outcomes and ensuring fair selection of applicants.
03:13Following that, we look at steps to prepare your application.
03:18Eligible candidates should prepare and apply promptly to avoid new requirements.
03:27If you plan to apply soon, consider submitting your profile before the changes are implemented.
