What are my visa chances for Canada given my profile with 7.7 CGPA and IELTS score of 5.5 for a Master's/Diploma?

It depends. Your 7.7 CGPA is competitive, but an IELTS score of 5.5 is typically below the requirement for most Canadian master's programs, which usually ask for at least 6.5 overall and no band below 6.0.

- Most postgraduate programs require a higher IELTS score than 5.5.
- While the Canadian study permit does not mandate IELTS, universities set their own minimums, and your current score may not meet them for a master's.
- Some diploma or certificate programs may accept lower IELTS scores, but options are limited.

To improve your chances, consider retaking the IELTS to achieve at least a 6.5 overall. For personalized guidance on suitable programs and next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
