What are the IELTS score requirements and can I apply if I made mistakes in the writing section in Australia/Canada?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Gagandeep Singh · 1 min read
Yes, you can apply, but most universities in Canada, Germany, and Australia require an overall IELTS score of 6.5 - 7.0, with no section below 6.0. If your writing score falls below the minimum, your application may not be accepted.
Some universities may offer conditional admission or pre-sessional English courses if your score is slightly lower. If your writing score is below the required threshold, consider retaking the IELTS to strengthen your application.
