Any chance of increasing CRS score through IELTS?

[manikmonday]

I(31 years)have applied through FSW in NOC 2174. I have over 5 years of foreign experience(non canada). 9 years of overall work ex. And more than 3 years of equivalent grad education evaluation through WES. I am unmarried and I got IELTS scores of 8.5, 7.5, 8, 8 in L,R,W,S.

With this my CRS score came out as 427. I do believe I fall under CLB 9. Does it make sense to retake the IELTS test to try to achieve a CLB 10? I think even with a CLB 10, I would be landing up with 430 as my CRS score (Correct me if I am wrong here). Is it worth the risk of reapplying for IELTS again? Would it increase my score for adaptability?

Are there any other options other than taking TEF for French?

Appreciate the guidance.

Your score is great and with CLB 9 level in each module, you're good to go. I makes no sense to appear again as this may jeopardise your other scores and you may go below 427. I would suggest stick with you have and make the application.
