Nice to hear that you still have hope! this is where we need to be careful though, we cannot really expect for a certain that scores will be lower than 450 by December.
Unless CIC accepts more people, say double (3,000 from the current 1,500) per draw, then this hope is in vain. I'm not sure whether you studied the other "express entry" models in other countries. But for New Zealand for example, you can apply for EOI with only 100 points, but in reality they RARELY go down below 140 as cut off to send invites.
The reason? There is constant number of people newly applying to the pool which just replenishes those who have been invited. Meaning, that each draw (they also draw twice a month by the way), the number of candidates which have at least 140 points, get to to be replaced with a more or less number of strong candidates (140 and above).
If you compare this with Canada, it's even worse. Because cut off points even go above 450. The most probable reason why it goes above 450 is due to PNP nominations as they try to maintain invite only for around 1,500 profiles each draw. Take note that this is Canada, and there are more and more people applying if you based on mid year report. In the absence of PNP nominations, it will remain to be 450 (at the current rate).
I'm not making people lose hope, I'm just stating observations based on how "express entry" model works. And for it to go down less than 450 in the long run, you need to either have (1) lesser people applying OR (2) you need to have CIC take in more than 1,500 per draw. The latter is the best hope. CIC should take in more than 1,500 profiles for the cut-off to go below 450.
I should know. I could've sat on around 440 points. This is the max I could get, unless I take up another post-secondary education. My express entry was created last January 2015, yes, I've observed this process this long. And it is only until now that I've stood around 1000 points (I think you have an idea how I got to this).

bestofluck said:I am still on the highest hopes level,. I am just telling you wait for 2 draws now as Ontario gave 600 points to all of them at a time. I thought that would be distributed and in every draw they would give 600 to a fixed number. But than they gave it in a lot. So don't panic the scores would be less than 450 by December.
