IELTS score issue for PGWP

[Billa Srikar]

Hello,

I am applying for PGWP with a masters from an DLI university. I still have valid study permit expires on 31st March 2025. I recently gave my IELTS exam and these are the bands
Listening - 8.5
Reading - 5.5
Writing - 6.5
Speaking - 6.5
Overall score - 7

Will I face a rejection because I got 5.5 in reading? If so can I give one skill retake and will IRCC consider the retake score?

Please let me know, I am so worried about this and short of time.

Your precious IELTS was probably academic, for PGWP you need general. Try to retake, I don't think they'll approve if you're below 6 in any. All the best.
