Will it be necessary to take IELTS again?

Hello,

I got my results on May 2015 so my IELTS will expire on May 2017. If I create a new Express Entry profile on April 2017, and receive ITA after May 2017, what will happen then? Will me and my wife be obliged to take the exam again?

On CIC webpage it says;

"Note: Your test results must be valid (less than two years old) when you complete your Express Entry profile, and when you apply for permanent residence. "

Even if we reatake the exam, the result will be different than the Express Entry profile; so my EE points can be even less or maybe much more. How will they assess it?

It should not be expired while filing for eAPR. and at any time of processing CIC may ask you to retake IELTS if it gets expired.

Retake the exam to be safe.

If your IELTS is good until May 2017 why rewrite when it is still less than a year old? What is your CRS? If IELTS is a high mark then it might be wise to hang on and see if you get an ITA between now and next November. Re-evaluate at that point.
