For this matter, you can call British council and confirm this;
i think, whether the mark is increase or decrease, they will give you an updated score sheet;
also if there is any change in the mark, they will refund your amount.
Many IELTS centres advice to reappear rather than going for revaluation.
I have read some where that they don't reduce bands during evaluation though can't find it on official IELTS sites.
As such if they're is a band difference of two or more points between skills as it appears in your score , it automatically goes for internal revaluation before they are sent to candidate.
All the best.
@hardi: If I were you I would have re-written the exam. That will give you a chance to prepare well and hence score better. Also, did you consider CELPIP over IELTS? I did CELPIP and found it's a good one !
Its all upto you. As long as you qualify the minimum requirements, I guess it wont make much of a difference as the major chunk of score if for the job.
I would suggest you to look for acquiring a job and fetch those 600 points.
I have a friend of mine in Alberta, infact a very close one. According to him, the market condition as of current scenario is very low.There's a slow in economy.
In such a condition, fetching a job would be a great challenge.
I am not sure when will our turn be (400-500 points slab) will be.
I was hoping, if re-evaluation grabs me at least 7 in writing, then at least I can try for Australia immigration.

Market is slow everywhere, but that does not mean that the jobs will dry up. Companies still need good people and they will hire!!!
I also agree that getting job from outside Canada is a big challenge, however, once job bank kicks off, I am optimistic that it will boon to the immigrants without job offer.... At least thats what I hope
Yes, if you are looking for an Australian immigration, you should definitely give it another shot. I see that your writing scores is pulling you down, so I would suggest you to try out some practice exams prior sitting for an IELTS exam.
