You can do that, and good luck to that, but if the visa officer requests you to submit IELTS you will submit an IELTS result with the required passmark.

have you completed your PhD? Try writing your VO a letter, attach a digital copy of your dissertation. it might help. Depends still really on where you got you PhD from....

if you have the bandwith to do it, I suggest yes. IELTS is useful not only for ITA application.

however, in my case, was able to skip this. Was able to get a certification from my school that the teaching medium of the university is English with the exception of Pilipino/History subjects as part of my engineering curriculum. luckily, it was accepted and IELTS or other proofs were not required.

you do not need an IELTS exam if you can give a certification from your school that the Medium of instruction is English. UST and UP are exemted from giving IELTS. They just give the certification.
