EE - FSW Minimum entry criteria met Feb 28, 2021 and IELTS expire on Mar 27' 21

Hi guys!

I submitted my EE profile last week and got an update that minimum entry criteria is met with CRS 471. However my IELTS expires on Mar 27, 2021.
My understanding is that IELTS needs to be valid until AoR. Do you think I'd be able to use my IELTS safely until aor or is there no chance that aor caa happen within Mar 27?
Does it usually take a long time until aor? I have all the other documents ready with me.

Based on CRS, IELTS added 133 scores, and I'm just worried that if I retake it, it might not be level 8 again and yield lower score (+ it's expensive).
Please let me know if you have any advice.
Thanks!

If you only submitted your profile last week, then I assume you haven't been selected out of the pool yet and don't yet have ITA.

You won't get AOR until after you have received ITA and submitted your complete application. Your IELTS must be valid at the time you submit your complete application.

Your question is therefore hard to answer because we don't know when you will get ITA.
