Thanks for the kind words, vishalv.
I'm definitely contemplating a CSE but I will have to think that through before sending it out. The fact that CIC didn't respond to your CSE is pretty discouraging though. I'm keeping all options open. Let's hope the next couple of draws help on the ITA front as well.
In my case, the document was missing so that might be the reason for the lack of response for CIC. In your case, if you give a detailed LOE explaining the POF thoroughly, I'm sure they might consider reopening your application. As you said earlier, each case is handled differently for each individual.
Next ITA draw will be coming soon, so i'm optimistic you will get an ITA.
At this junction my friend, I'm reminded of the following lines from the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Each journey is full of hurdles & life throws up all kind of obstacles to see how well you can tackle it.
Be strong & i'm sure you will get PR. It's only a question of when.
