I got overall 6.5 band Ielts AC just in reading had 5.5. To secure a seat for a PG program in colleges, agents recommended me take doulingo English Test.
  • I am confused would doubling the result with Ielts affect the chances of a visa
  • Would my file be applied under SDS if I submitted both results ( Ielts and Duolingo )
Please Help me to take further step.

If you have IELTS why take Duolingo? Your IELTS score is too low for SDS but can apply through non SDS. IRCC doesn’t look at Duolingo results.

Yes, I agree that IRCC doesn't not recognize Duolingo but my IELTS score is sufficient for the SDS category as per IRCC's recent changes. The problem is that for the PG program admission, I need to have overall 6.5 not less than 6.0 which is the requirement of colleges, not IRCC. For more information kindly visit www.cic.gc.ca.com
My doubt is that if I took admission through Duolingo and applied for a visa through Ielts, would it influence my visa chance or not?
