It won't be lower than 460.
And if you check the general trend, the number of applications just keeps growing from 2015 and by 2020 the forecast shows the same growth (just like from 2018-2019), which means that the number won't drop. It might get lower in Dec-Feb by 453-456 - but that's it. https://www.cicnews.com/2019/10/latest-express-entry-draw-invites-3900-candidates-to-apply-for-canadian-permanent-residence-1012869.html#gs.9blqx2

Yeah, I feel this too.
Every one and their dog is applying for EE - and what's more - they all have Master's Degrees and 3 years work exp.
I agree. The max drop I forecast is 455. That too post December.
Well if they increase the number of invitations next year and it will be around 3900/per draw, things will change
What I am surprised with is that according to the immitracker https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/ontario-human-capital-priorities-stream-tracker
Some people, who applied on the 2nd of Oct and the 14th of Sept have their application in assessment already...Few with the 10th and 11th of September are in the Assessment stage as well.
What's the difference between the Submitted status and AOR? Does it mean the email of payment etc?

It hurts but it’s the reality. Saskatchewan and other provinces are conducting draws and ruining our dreams. What’s more I’ll lose 5 more points in January 2020 and my score will come down to 449. No hope will be left.
OMG. That's harrowing.
I'm hoping the numbers dip a bit closer to the holidays and you make it!
Thank you. I am also keeping a small hope for the OINP, but, to be honest I am very exhausted with this experience and don't expect anything good anymore. I took Ielts 4 times and was so confident about my 456 that ordered all the certificates and papers that will expire by December/January. That's the problem with the EE is that it takes months to prepare certain certificates and you only have a limited number of days to submit documents to the Federal program later.
Because I lived abroad I had to be sure, so I have ordered 3 police certificates (in order to avoid bumps). Just to find a person to make fingerprints right for the FBI was a nightmare. Our local post did not want to send them for some reasons to the US! Then the police certificate from the UK did not want to arrive by the local post, it got lost, I had to order another one and it took me almost 2 months to get it. This, along with all the rest of the difficulties make me hopeless. My ex employer is very busy and I have asked him to be in touch in the summer to confirm my duties and the rest. But how can I make him stay alerted and wait for the call all the time? Yes, there are other colleagues, but still.

I applied for the first time in 2018 (after finally getting ITA) and I had made a mistake in my application and it got rejected for being incomplete. Then another harrowing wait later, ITA and another application.
I had to redo PCCs, medicals - thankfully the ECA/IELTS were still valid!
