honestly, because you no longer meet the criteria of Student direct stream! you will have to apply in general category! and visa chances drop significantly in the general category!

your best chance is to write IELTS again and score 6.5 no less than 6 and apply through SDS!

(or you can take a chance with the general category!)

hope my advice helps,if not

wait for the senior members comments! :)

Hey there!!

Need your prospective

I got an admit from conferadation college for engineering business.. total course fees about 18lacs got my bank loan from Avanse bank for 15 lacs.
IELTS -6.5 not less than 6.0. paid my first semester. Parents are financially weak. Paid my first semster fees. Acadamics B.E with 78% with no backlogs.

Offer asks for only 1 semster fees, 2 nd sem fees is due on July-2019

In this case going with general category is recommendable? If yes. Then what financial documents ia ia required?

you should never go for general, buy GIC, and go via SDS, I think you are eligible for SDS

I'm helping my elder sister (age - 40) for a 2 year Diploma program in Seneca College. Her IELTS scores are (L-6.5, R- 7.0, W-5.5, S-6.5, Overall 6.5). Under SDS stream, can she apply especially if one of her individual IELTS band is under 6.0 (i.e., W-5.5) ?

CIC website says overall it should be 6.0, nothing about Individual bands

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/student-direct-stream.html

proof that you graduated from a Canadian curriculum high school or a language test form showing a
score of at least 6 for English


However in Durham College website, it says
https://durhamcollege.ca/info-for/international/study-dc/english-language-centre/english-language-proficiency-and-elt-partners

**Applicants with an Indian passport are required to submit official Academic IELTS test scores with a minimum overall score of 6.0, with no band score below 6.0, as per SDS guidelines. Select programs may require higher scores. TOEFL / PTE / CAEL test scores will not be accepted.

How true is this and is my sister eligible with the kind of IELTS score she has?

Appreciate your time and help. Thanks,
