Hi, I am a software engineer with 6 years of experience.
My IELTS score is L:7.5, R:8.5, S:6.0, W:6.0, and I am getting 359 CRS.
The Eligibility checking tool suggests that I am eligible to create express entry profile.
But I would need a provincial nomination to increase my score.
OINP is not possible as it requires 400 score.

Is it better to write IELTS again? or proceed with other provincial nominations and further steps?

If you can improve your Speaking and Writing scores, it will make a big difference to your CRS score. Target 8777 in LRWS and your CRS will improve your CRS considerably.

Use this calculator to see how much of a difference IELTS can make to your CRS http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
 
Get all bands to at least 7.5... that's how you can maximise your scores.
 
My CRS score is also 359 with 6 years of work experience and with spouse. I suppose we should rewrite the exam in order to get good score.

getting 8777 will increase the score approximately upto 420.

Which province is open at the moment and which province are you planing to apply?
 
pl rewrite ielts.
