if i'm not wrong i don't think they care about ur overall band. you will be evaluated according to scores in each section. if you need full marks in english you have to have 7 band in all 4 sections of IELTS.
may be someone more xperienced correct me if i'm wrong.

sorry for the confusion, you should ask your consultant again. this is how the scores will be awarded for immigration purpose if you have IELTS. you can always check the immigration website or just google it.

"Immigration points are awarded based on the score obtained by the applicant in the language test. For IELTS test, the applicant is required to appear for the general module of the language test and score the necessary band in all the four parameters of the test, namely, Reading, Writing, Speaking and Comprehension/Listening.

If the score in the language test is between band 7.0 and 9.0, then four immigration points are awarded for that parameter. It is important to note that the immigration points are awarded for each individual parameter and not just the overall band and then added up. If score is between band 5.0 to 6.9, two immigration points are awarded. If score is less than band 5.0, no immigration points are awarded for that parameter.

For example, an applicant will be awarded the following points for the IELTS scores (bands) given below:

Reading - 7.0 Band = 4 immigration points
Writing - 6.5 Band = 2 immigration points
Speaking - 8.0 Band = 4 immigration points
Comprehension - 6.0 Band = 2 immigration points

Therefore the total points received for language in the immigration application will be 12 points out of a maximum of 16 points"

Hope this helps and clear any doubts....
