Hi I am Fathima, Me and my husband planning to migrate to Canada as a PR. I am ought to apply as a primary applicant. We both received our ECA reports as my credential is Master's in Pharmacy and husband's as a bachelor's degree. Recently I got My IELTS score as overall 6. I have 5years of experience as a pharmacist and am still working as a senior pharmacist in India. Can anyone guide me how to go on with EXPRESS ENTRY with this IELTS score without a reattempt. Because of my low IELTS band, the CRS score went down. Or will other options like PNP and AIPP help me to reach Canada as PR. Please help me out with this.

sorry, no chance without at least an 8 in ielts and applying with your spouse as non accompanying. too many applicants with better scores are already in the pool.

L-6, R-5.5, W-6, S-5.5 || My NOC -3131
You are not eligible for Express Entry with 5 bands. You need to improve your IELTS. For AIPP, you need a job offer. For PNP, your NOC is not eligible because it is a licensed profession. Your only option is Express Entry.

My IELTS band is 6. Is there any chance?

No. Your current scores L-6, R-5.5, W-6, S-5.5 are too low. You need at least 6 in each area. And not knowing your age, your IELTS score may even need to be higher just to be eligible.
My age is 28 and my qualification is Master's in pharmacy. Also I have 5years of experience in the same field. Will it work? Kindly guide me on this.

If you have the time, take some classes and improve on your IELTS score. It's one of the easiest ways of increasing your overall score.

You need to improve your IELTS to be eligible. Complete your ECA for your Masters too. Can’t tell you if you will get an invitation since you are not eligible.

Hi, I know PNP is not an option for Pharmacists because it’s regulated. But do you have an idea if Pharmacists are in demand in any province? Just incase IRCC comes up with NOC-specific all program draws in the future

Pharmacists are not in demand. There are so many in Canada and few positions are full time and pharmacists have to work at several locations.
