IELTS Expiry in OINP

[Canjour90]

Dear Friends,

Recently I received NOI from OINP. But my IELTS is expiring on July 1st 2023. I am planning to submit my application before it expires. So while I submit my application, does IELTS score gets locked in OINP also?

Even if I retake IELTS for EE pool should I maintain same score? If I get less score will OINP reject my application?

Also should my spouse also retake IELTS and maintain same score?

Please do reply. As I am in a situation where I need help.
Thank you..

Have same doubt now, will the application get affected if we score lower ?
