Yes! They are dropping!
Congrats to everyone!
 
Well that was early!
 
Good news... looks like finally the wait is getting worth
 
They are NOT dropping. Not the way you think. At the very best the minimum CRS score will be stuck at 482, because 481 is single 20-somethings with good English, masters, and 3 years of foreign work experience, which is a very basic and attainable set of qualifications and should correspond to thousands and thousands of people in the pool at this point.

Unless they start sending an obscene amount of ITAs, I'd not count on the scores dropping. It's not a trend.
 
I had 1015 points with SASK nomination. But did not receive ITA.

Definitely, I had accepted the offer of saskatchewan in my profile.:(

It takes up to six hours for it to show up in your profile, don't worry.
