I suggest that you should do both the processes parallely. Getting an ECA takes approximately 1.5 - 2 months and it includes getting all your documents from your university, sending those docs to Canada and then the actual evaluation process starts. In the meanwhile, you can get the dates for IELTS and give the exam after sufficient preparation. By the time your IELTS results are declared, you will also get your ECA, and immediately after that, you can create the Express Entry profile.

I am not sure about your Canadian degree equivalency, but you can go to the WES website and check the Canadian equivalency of your BSc degree.

Wes asks for verification from BD Universities. So consider longer processing time than avg time of rest of the world.
