You have a good chance of getting into a university in the UK with a 5.5 IELTS band. Most colleges and institutions will gladly accept your application if your score is between 5.5 to 6.5 score bands.

To study in the UK, international students need to obtain a Tier 4 student visa. One of the requirements for this visa is to demonstrate English language proficiency.

The minimum required English language level for a Tier 4 student visa is a CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) level B2, which is roughly equivalent to a 5.5 overall score on the IELTS exam.

However, it is important to note that individual universities may have their own language requirements which may be higher than the minimum visa requirements. Therefore, it is best to check the specific language requirements of the universities you are interested in applying to.

In your case, you have an overall score of 5.5 on the IELTS exam, which meets the minimum visa requirement for the Tier 4 student visa. However, it may be beneficial to retake the IELTS exam to improve your scores in the Listening and Speaking sections, as some universities may have higher requirements for these sections.

In addition to the English language requirement, you will also need to provide evidence of your financial ability to support yourself during your studies in the UK, as well as provide documents such as your passport, academic transcripts, and a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) from your chosen university.

You can apply for visa to study in Canada. However, score 5.5 means that you have a very basic understanding of English and you are more comfortable communicating in familiar situations. It is difficult to use complex language.

You would need to work more on your communication skills. As it is more important to have knowledge and great expertise in language which is outside of your comfort zone.

If your IELTS score is 5.5, you stand a high chance of being accepted into a UK university. If your score falls within the 5.5 and 6.5 score bands, the majority of colleges and institutions will gladly accept your application.
