Hello,

Please help. I have given ielts 3 times but I am stuck on 5.5 bands. I want to apply for canada. What are the visa success rates with low ielts score. I am wondering if I can apply because I checked only few colleges accept 5.5 and give offer letter. Just want an advice rather than visa refusal.

Thanks!

Incorrect. OP is not applying to immigrate. OP wants to attend school in Canada. You can in fact obtain a study permit (to attend college) with a score of 5.5.

Hi All,

I received my IELTS General Test results yesterday (Aug 5, 2015 [for immigration]). Exam was conducted on Jul 23.

I was very confident of scoring 7 to 7.5 in both listening and reading modules as my confidence level in both were similar.
My result is as below

Listening -7.5
Reading - 5.5
Writing - 6.5
Speaking - 7.5

Eligibility criteria for Canada Express Entry is 6 ( need 0.5 to hit the mark).

I am considering re-mark(re-evaluation) for Reading alone. Has anybody in this forum experienced similar situation for listening/Reading as these are mostly
objective type and not sure how it went wrong here.

I have also heard from some forums online that this can happen as initial evaluation is automatic process where as re-evaluation is a manual process.

I Would appreciate your valuable inputs. Thanks.

You will need to retake the test. You need a CLB 7 to be eligible (at least 6 in all tests)
Best of luck

No - not possible to apply for Express Entry. You need a minimum of 6 in each of the four categories. You need to take IELTS again.
