Could there really be a CRS minimum of 453?

Yes, entirely possible.

Even if 450 is the unofficial cap, that means nothing for tomorrow. Tomorrow, they could have an economic expansion, need more immigrants, and lower the score. Or, they could issue a bunch of LMIAs and raise it.

It depends on the economy, and the politics.

As for the specific number, this year they have stated that they are working to close the large backlog. It's entirely possible that scores this year will be higher than next year.

It's not stated anywhere that lowest draw will be 453. The fact that thats been the lowest draw so far doesnt really mean anything in terms of future draws
