I'm helping my elder sister for a 2 year Diploma program in Seneca College. Her IELTS Academic 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/immigratio...anada/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/i...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,
