I have got an offer letter from a college in canada. My duolingo test score is 135 . Will i get canada student visa if I applied under non sds category

No one can tell you. Language is just one factor and IRCC doesn’t consider duolingo only some colleges. You need to show education and career progression. You need to show that you have strong career opportunities in your home country. You want to show you can afford to study in Canada.

Language being one factor or one big factor?

If you are applying under non-SDS category then there is NO REQUIREMENT to show language test results for the purpose of attaining a study permit. If the educational institution has accepted your language test results then you're good to go.

Depends if your scores are low that is a big factor. But if you have high IELTs scores but no funds or can’t show you will return home after your studies, then language is not as big of a factor. There are no rankings.

So you need to show strong career prospects or advancement in your current job.

Depends on which country you are applying from. Some countries like India require a language test, no matter what stream you choose.

Having a low IELTS is big factor but high is not? someone said to me that if they didn't mention language proficiency in the GCMS notes then don't need to worry about IELTS.

I applied from India and I did not require a language test for my non-SDS application; in fact, I have never taken an English-language test

Rules are always changing. New rule according to IRCC India says it's required.

Yes, I submitted my application in February, it was subsequently approved in April

Attention international students!
Both IELTS Academic and IELTS General test scores are accepted for the Student Direct Stream (SDS). For the non-SDS applicants, only IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic test scores will be accepted. pic.twitter.com/ZsENjsm5bH
