Please someone can answer these? IELTS scores and improving

Hi
Please can you help me with the following queries we have
1. I have taken the IELTS exam and got band 9 for 3 and band 8 for speaking. I am planning to appear for the test again and to get band 9 for all 4 sections. The band 9 and above would fetch better points rt? So, should I apply for the immigration now or after the next test? Can we update the IELTS score of the principal applicant after we have applied Express Entry?

2. about the spouse scores of IELTS - can we update it on a later date ? my spouse have not taken the exam yet.

thank you for your time on this

Looks like you've already maxed out ielts with those scores.

There's no need to do the test again. You will get the maximum score.
Congrats!

You've maxed it out. Now make sure your spouse maxes it out as well. There's a significant (50+) point advantage for you.

IRCC uses the CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) grading system to determine your language points. Like others mentioned, you've maxed out the CLB score. CLB10 (highest) requires R 8.0+, W 7.5+, L 8.5+, S 7.5+

You can read more about CLB and language test equivalency below:

Thank you for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, but the question was on CLB and not IELTS scores. CLB band 9 for W, R and L and only band 8 for speaking. I am taking the test again to see if I get CLB9 for all 4.
Now please can you reply if I need to wait till the second test result to apply ? I hope it is clear.
