I have just completed application for Federal PR: Skilled Worker category.
I have written TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language) back in 2000.
For the English language, I have selected HIGH for Read, Write, Speak, Listen categories.
Do I need to write TOFEL again?
Do I ALSO have to write IELTS?

Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Only IELTS - and that too the General version, not the Academic.

http://www.ielts.org/test_takers_information/what_is_ielts.aspx

General Training – for school, work or migration
The General Training format focuses on basic survival skills in broad social and workplace contexts. It is for those who are going to English-speaking countries to do secondary education, work experience or training programs. People migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must sit the General Training test.

what is band requirment for ILETS for Canadian immigration?
i think there's no band "requirement" for canadian immigration purposes. your band score, however, will be the basis for the points to be awarded. that is per category/part (speaking, listening, reading and writing)

Hi

how do you get "good and poor" option on your screen name?
If someone likes your reply to a question, they may click good, rating goes up one, if they think it is wrong or crappy, they click poor and it goes down one. Or if they just don't like you, they click poor.
