I can only answer point 3.
For speaking and writing, you can try the following:
Speaking:
1. Practice speaking daily, and specifically practice speaking in the format of the exam. That is, imagine yourself as the examiner asking questions and try to answer questions as if you are attempting the exam. Time yourself as per the sections. Record your conversation on your mobile and self evaluate. If you have any proficient English speaker (friends/family/professor) ask them feedback.

2. This site is a very good resource for general advice for IELTS, but also specifically for IELTS speaking topics, tips etc
3. Practice speaking using topics from the above link.
4. Although there are numerous free resources online, this paid course helped me a lot.

5. Refer to highly rated YouTube videos for tips etc. There are some very good videos with simulated speaking exams with band scores.
Writing:
1. Everyday(almost) I would spare an hour for writing. I would write a letter and an essay in the exam format with a timer.
2. If possible, self check above for grammatical, spelling accuracy. If you have any professor, etc who is willing to evaluate for you even better.
3. The book IELTS 11 General training with answers has 4 exam papers, from where you can pick up topics for writing. They also have actual answers written by students in the IELTS exam and evaluated by examiners along with band scores and reasons why the particular band score was awarded.
4. The following course helped me a lot with writing. It explains in depth how to structure your letters/essays and what points need to be covered.

5. Again, tips and tricks, sample essay questions can be found on this site: http://ieltsliz.com/
Practice, practice, practice.. that's the most important thing. Good Luck!!!!
No u can request that. You will have to wait til they finish their evaluation
Well the scores most likely will reach 441 faster than 432 so try it again . I'm at 438 and doing it again to achieve 441. Fingers crosses
I personally would advise you against it. You needn't waste time and money on ielts to increase from 438 to 441. First of all it's only 3 points increase and next cut off will likely be less than 441, which means it will possibly go below 438 by June end.
You are fine, if IRCC needs RCMP report from you they will let you know.
Hi. So if you can increase your CRS by 9 points, its better to write ielts rather than wait for score to reach 432. CRS may go down to 430, but we cannot really predict when. So if you have time, you can wait till July and see how it goes and then you can give your ielts, or just start preparing and give it.
Tips.
Writing is scored on your grammar and sentence formation. You need to use compound and complex sentences with coherence. So read a lot of articles. practice by rewriting the articles in your words. See how well you can achieve reflecting the original idea, with YOUR English. This is the best strategy. Follow ielts with Liz in youtube. She teaches amazing skills. Youtube teaches better than anyone in ielts.
Remember - there is no point in writing even ten essays everyday, if you don't know how your essays are marked and what is expected in your answer. You will only be repeating you mistakes ten times a day.
Speaking is all about confidence. Just practice with someone who is brilliant in English. Keep talking. Maybe watch a lot of conversation based English movies and get their sentence formation, pronunciation and new words. Practice everyday with different topics. I wouldn't suggest YouTube here, as most of the videos have candidates with bad English but scored high.
Now I follow a strategy for both. It's all about how much time you give yourself to think and understand the questions. So for speaking reach the venue very early OR a bit late - this way you get time to settle down in that environment. Build your confidence and prepare all the topics in your head before sitting for the test.
For writing I tried this and it worked - Just after looking at the writing questions, take a toilet break. In toilet think the ideas and the sentences you will be writing for both questions. taking that five mins break will help you write smoothly without the need to scratch off or rewrite. This small break will also clear your head off from listening and reading tests.
Cheers and all the best!
Hi Friends,
Query: I got the Ontario PNP invitation and mentioned the below text in that invitation. I have gone to ontario PNP portal and application has submitted online as well. My question is do we need to contact Ontario PNP though phone to tell our interest as well?
========================================Text message from Ontario PNP invitation ====================================
If you want Ontario to consider you for nomination under its PNP you must contact Ontario directly after receiving this letter. Note that this letter of interest is not a guarantee that you will be nominated by Ontario. You will first have to satisfy Ontario that you meet the requirements of their program.

Guys,
I have question on PCC.
I have received pcc on nov 2017 from high commission of india , ottawa. After nov 2017 i have not visited india. Now its about complete 6 months. By the time i am ready with docs it will cross 6 months. Will this PCC is still valid? Did anyone uploaded the pcc which is issued more than 6 months?
One more issue is my pcc doesnot have a seal on it. I think they missed it.
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks in advance.
