Overall score does not say much. It is very important to see every part score. And it depends on your occupation.
Now see, for example, Listening 9, Reading - 4, Writing - 4, Speaking - 5, Overall - 5:
Medical doctor - There is a very high chance for the officer to apply negative substituted evaluation. Because with such score applicant will very hard time to get medical license in Canada. Therefore, refusal.
Carpenter - such sore is more than enough to get license and find a job. Therefore, Welcome to Canada!

IELTS is mandatory even if you cross the pass mark of 67. You still need to submit it.

Cheers

maybe the reason why they're giving emphasis on the English language, is because maybe most of immigrants who have settled there decades ago could not even communicate simple english.
