With a WD2 and 7A1 annotation,  you have to reapply for a new visa, correct?

The officer said that his stamp was "Informal denial" and to try travelling again when i get a job, which I thought meant no. I have tried contacting the US office here to understand but to no avail.

Maybe look into taking the test in Canada?  

Its probably my best option, will more strongly consider.

I was denied entry into the United States from The Bahamas two days ago. The Customs officer stamped WD2 and 7A1 on one of the back pages of my passport. I made this post because oddly enough I saw one made from a fellow Bahamian. We share eerily similar stories however I do possess a tourist visa. I gave an address where my girlfriend (also Bahamian) stays with a return ticket with thousands in the bank. I was turned around due to, "Many people staying due to corona, and you don't have a job or own a house, so you have *nothing* to return to The Bahamas to." - Customs Officer. 

The trouble begins because while my trip was obviously parts pleasure, I had intended to take an IELTS test to legally immigrate to Canada for work. There were no official test dates when I tried to travel, but of course as of yesterday, there is now going to be testing in October. I admit it was brash of me to think I could wait it out until a testing center opened with COVID-19 being rampant, but that mistake is already made. I need advice on how to go about this new situation seeing as I HAVE to take this test to gain entry to Canada, but I was just turned around at the border. Its almost impossible for me to own a house in a month, and very hard to get a job seeing as the Bahamas is also still recovering from COVID economy-wise. And, oh, I need to pay for the IELTS test by today or I risk losing my seat in October and have to wait another round. What should I do?
