Like I said already, it could be because you have so few total points that you really need all 16 points for English to get up to 67. I don't know your total points. Ask your agency.
We can calculate the total points from the online calculcator right?

For education, I have a 4 year Bachelor's Degree so how many points is this?

"Whatever the number of points awarded, Canadian Immigration Visa Officers always have the discretion to accept or refuse an application based on a substituted evaluation"

In addition to scoring at least 67 points, successful applicants must show that they have enough money to support themselves and their dependants after arrival in Canada. Applicants and their dependants must also undergo medical examinations and security clearances as part of the Canadian immigration application process.

Federal Skilled Worker (Professional) Processing Times and Processing Fees vary from one Canadian Immigration Visa office to another.

The reason I need all HIGH's is because I don't have any relatives in Canada that are PR nor Citizens and on top of this I don't have a job offer in Canada.
So If I don't get all HIGH in this test, I will be disqualified unless of course I take it again but I won't, its just too expensive and I beleive if I can't pass in 1st try, I won't in second try either.

You mean if I am short 67 points, I still have a chance?
Read this:-

"If your score is lower than the pass mark, you are not likely to qualify to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker. We recommend that you do not apply at this time.

However, you can still apply if you believe other factors would show that you are able to establish yourself in Canada and support your dependants. Send a detailed letter with your application explaining why you think you are able to become economically established in Canada. Include any documents that support your claim.
"

Which factors would that be? money?
If you have the $, why not consider Business Immigration? Alternatively, you can try Provincial Nomination Program. PNP is not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program, so you do not need to worry about the passing mark.

Read the following links:-
1) Business Immigration: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/index.asp
2) Provincial Nomination Program: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/index.asp

If you are still thinking about applying through Skilled Workers, chances of you getting PR is very slim if you do not have enough points. Maybe you will stand a chance if you possess a specialised skill set that is highly in demand in Canada, and able to justify yourself to CIC. Of course you can always try to improve your ILETS score to get the minimum passing mark.
