Yes, they are. bellaluna linked you to the chart so that you can see how much of a difference language test results make to your score.goingtocanadasoon said:
Obviously, the difference between CLB 7 and CLB 10 has a big impact on your CRS (an extra 118 points, in fact). But if you've already maxed out IELTS results, there aren't easy ways to increase your score (except PNP).
That's why some people are in the pool for so long.
If I were to take my IELTS for a second time and end up with a better score, would that be helpful?
Why so? I am having a score of 390. Improving my IELTS score would take me past 450. If I somehow manage 500, I should be ok right?dan_and said:

That said, though, increasing your CRS by that many points is a lot harder than you seem to think.
At the moment, 450 points is not enough; the cutoff is 482+ at the moment. It will probably drop in the future, but no one knows when or by how much.
500 points will definitely be enough, if you can manage it.
dan_and said that because this is the first time you've mentioned your CRS; until now, we had no idea what you were working with.goingtocanadasoon said:

Then I think that the only possible way is to convince someone to give me a job. 
How effective is the job bank? Are people able to find any jobs using the portal?

It is exceptionally unlikely that you will receive a job offer before you have PR.
For an employer to offer you a LMIA-supported job, they will have to prove that there is no one in Canada capable of doing the job.
Have you looked into PNP ?
Absolutely not.goingtocanadasoon said:
Getting a job offer is next to impossible.
Getting PNP is quite simple, if you qualify. It's just a matter of applying, sending you documents, and waiting. Read through this forum, and you will see a vast number of people who have PN.
Read the eligibility requirements, find which Provinces you're eligible for, then read those Provinces' application guides: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/express-entry-expression-of-interest-b54.0/

Getting a nomination from a province is a more practical option than trying to find a job backed by a positive LMIA.
