If you have seen that message in your CIC account to upload IELTS certificate, then you need to give IELTS exam for sure.

But in the webinar of high commission they said that there is no need to give ielts exam again

Also i have seen many students with expired ielts score are getting AIP nowadays

well IRCC is so unpredictable. while we are waiting since Feb/march but july/Aug applicants are gettings AIP's then there is no surprise in that some are getting AIP's with expired IELTS certificate and some are not. So as per my knowledge, if they demand some documents then you need to provide for your visa process. Because technically expired IELTS does not count.

one thing you can do, write a new LOE and explain why you cant give ietls now because of pandemic and ask them to evaluate using the old ielts only.
The last date of my ielts is 18 August 2020 and on the same date they sent me the message to re do the ielts

Does that mean someone has checked your file now?
What was its status before you got this update? Why quit. Wait. No need for new IELTS. Even in the webinar, they said it will not matter if it recently expired. Apply for IELTS for a later date, maybe one month from now and submit that application form with an explanation letter through web form saying I will take it as soon as it is available. It's not like your English skills would have gone away in 2 years, they know this. It's just expired, not revoked. This is just a small hiccup don't worry.
