I know man, I understand the tie-breaker concept, just getting my frustration out :)
But seriously, this tie-breaker is a really heartbreaking concept, especially for those who have birthday shortly afterwards. Why couldn't they decide they will give out about 3900 ITAs, see that it means CRS cut-off is coming to 439 and then increase the draw size a bit to accommodate everyone with 439? The way they used to do till 2017.:confused:
Lets hope Mr. Abhishek is correct and we get 430s again in next draw.

I'm so happy for everyone who finally got their ITA after months of waiting. I know how it feels to wait for that one draw.

Congratulations to everyone!

Historically the year end weeks (Christmas and New Year) have resulted in lesser numbers of applicants entering the pool than normal. I am not sure if it is due to lesser ECA outcomes due to Christmas holidays or any other reason.

You can do a quick check on last years draw data and see the situation.
Nov 15 - Dec 6: 3 week gap - 2750 applicants got into pool with CRS 452 and above
Dec 20 - Jan 10: 3 week gap - 2750 applicants got into pool with CRS 446 and above

Hence, I have accounted lesser than normal average intake of 265-270/day for CRS 441 and above.
That's a real ray of hope mate :) Maybe, even there are less/no IELTS tests during this period? But on the other hand, 2nd Jan is too close to the holiday period, and last year also they had a 3-week gap between these two draws :(
