Make sure the affidavit contains you date of birth, day of birth, place of birth, country of birth, father and mother name and any other details you country's birth certificate contains.
Regarding IELTS, don't know about current rules, but when I applied about 4 years back, I didn't take one. Read the current guidance on how to prove English Proficiency. I just wrote a covering letter explaining my schooling, university and masters in English, day to day work correspondence in English etc. Add some certificates, employer's letters etc as evidence.
Hope this helps.
