Every time computer engineer Faisal Shaikh failed his English test -- as he did four times -- James Packer was a little richer.

Mr Packer is the non-executive chairman of a company that profits each time someone sits the sole English language proficiency test for visa applicants accepted by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
