That honestly depends on which program you intend to apply, and which NOC you have for your job.

According to the official government website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ss-entry/documents/language-requirements.html), one needs to get a minimum 7 in the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) for all four subjects in either English or French for Federal skilled worker program. But for CEC, if one’s NOC code is B level, CLB 5 for all four subjects would suffice. The federal skilled trades program goes down to even 4, and that one separates its subject category.

Your IELTS score shows you have above CLB 7 for all except reading (I’m actually very impressed with your speaking), which is 6, according to this:https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...age-requirements/test-equivalency-charts.html

EDIT: basically this means you’re eligible for all except FSW(Federal skilled worker) and Canadian experience class (CEC) with NOC 0 or A positions.

So I say be wary when you pick your PR program, if this is the only test results you’re going to stick with. If you have plenty of time and you don’t know which program you want to take, or the program and NOC that you are in requires 7 or above, then I suggest a re-test after a bit more practice in the reading (do more practice questions).

We have a whole separate thread in this very forum for language exams, so you’re more than welcome to discuss with those people. Good luck and I hope what little I said helps!

With a score of 5.0 for FSW, the OP is not eligible.

Um… Yeah… that’s exactly why I said it depends on the program, instead of giving a straight yes or no answer…? ‍

I’ll try to elucidate further in my original comment.
