Is anyone else having a hard time before even creating an Express Entry profile?

I think that they should be able to accommodate to your issue (with a medical note). Have a look:

I think it mentions the test centre so, ring the test centre where you took your last test or where your planning on doing it.

This is actually not a bad idea.. I can visit Toronto since I wanted to do that anyway before moving, and whack the tests there in one go.. if they're definitely computer based then it would make my life 100x easier. Would I need a Canadian address or could my results be emailed to me here in the UK?
Good luck.

Thanks all! I've entered the IEC pool even though there are like 260 spots left and 4000 people in the pool. If I got an invite before I might get lucky again. I checked True Traveller and it's about £500 for a 2-year single trip policy. This might be my backup. For now my focus is appealing the writing score in my latest test, as if I can get that to jump up half a band to 7.0, permanent residence would be my best option.
In the meantime I'll try to get a doctor's note in case the remark doesn't work and I'm forced to do the exam a third time. Perhaps they'll let me type it up.

The CELPIP Test is fully computer delivered, providing test takers the opportunity to complete all test components in one sitting with no additional appointments, interviews, or test sittings required. CELPIP Test Takers use a computer mouse and keyboard to complete Reading and Writing components of the test, and a computer microphone and headset to complete the Listening and Speaking components. Computerized tests offer test takers a quick and reliable testing experience.

Hi all! Quick update. Got my IELTS remark back today for the 2nd test and hurrah! 6.5 in writing became 7.0, magically giving me 438 CRS points :-). There has only ever been 1 Express Entry draw for 438 points, but it was on Jan 30th of this year, so I'd say I've a pretty good shot at getting an invite in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed! So freaking glad I don't have to do those tests again, fork out more money pointlessly and have to deal with some of the rudest people on the planet... I'm free! Now to wait for my ECA. :-)

Congrats - wishing you the best of luck - hope you don't have to wait too long before getting drawn from the pool!
