PTE or IELTS from Brazil?
PTE is priced in US dollars and has a centre in Salvador, which IELTS does not list; IELTS reaches Porto Alegre, Joinville and Londrina and has a face-to-face speaking test. Compare the two in reais on the day you book. Both are accepted for UK and Australian visas; Canada's Express Entry takes PTE Core, not PTE Academic.
