Hi, I got invited for FSW application this May 2019. I have 60 days to arrange PCC and the pre-submission medical exam, however I realized that my IELTS score is expiring in 10 days. Do I have to submit my online application with all my documents before the IELTS score expiration date for it to be eligible ??? Please suggest

Yes your IELTS score should be valid at the time of application submission

Even if I retake IELTS, I do not find an option to update my IELTS exam details. Does this mean I need to fill a new express entry application and wait to get invited?

Incase you retake the exam and the score is higher than your previous one then upload your old and the new test score copy. The case agent will take a note of this.

Incase your score comes lower, make sure that the overall score does not fall below the cut off for that round then upload your old and the new test score copy. The case agent will take a note of this.

e.g. cut off 450.. your current score is 460.. your new IELTS score drops your overall score to 452.. then it is not an issue.. if it does then either you have to take the test again or decline the ITA
