Hi,

I'm preparing to apply for PR and I messed up my IELTS exam really bad. This is my score

Reading : 4.5
Writing : 5.0
Listening : 5.0
Speaking : 5.5

The NOC code is 6314 which is Level B and acoording to website, I just meet the requirements.

My question I ask:

Should I re-attempt again? because I feel this might be too low and I should at least get a 6.0 in all the bands or the cic officer might reject me because of such low scores?

Your score is fine, as per CIC:

If you gained your skilled work experience in Canada in a NOC B job, you must meet the minimum level of CLB 5 in either English or French for all four language abilities.

And the CLB level for your score is CLB 5, check this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/language-testing.asp

Thanks for the reply. very nervous.

one more question since I still have doubt on this.

Suppose I do my Ielts again and I manage to get 6 on all the bands, would this score give me a better chance or it would be the same when the officer sees it? I mean would the office tend not to reject me because of the higher score?

All they care is whether you met the CLB level or not, Pass or Fail. Higher score doesnt give u extra points or anything in CEC :)
