This page that has the distribution table for the most recent draw seems to be updated each time, and the old one gets replaced, so I'm not sure if an archive exists online.

This page lists all the previous draws' Ministerial instructions, but just the results, not the distributions.
Yes I am aware of this page - Thank you!

I'm currently on 471, and based on stats, there should be about 3291 candidates before ITA's will come my/(who ever else may be on 471 - tie breaking rule 13 March 2020) way.
Don't take this as fact, just a simple exercise I performed.

Yeah.. score will be around 476
Yes
The current figures in the pool is high and cutoff might be around 476 when draws resume for FSW but the pool is like an Iceberg waiting to explode. Once the first draw happens, it won’t take time for the scores to deep back except if influx becomes extremely higher than the pace of invitations.

Bruh, firstly, ITAs are not being issued to outland dudes. Some say it will happen by June and some speculated it to be by Aug. Some dudes even go a step ahead and claim no ITAs until a vaccine is being found.
For students, they have to invite dudes from overseas but in case of achieving their immigration targets (if they are not revising to the insane level of joblessness in every province), there are tons of CEC dudes who might likely receive ITAs.
So have a back-up plan. You see, from March until now, (almost 3 months) no outland dudes are given ITAs (except few PNPs). I will be seriously happy if all draws are resumed by June at least but looking at all the developed countries that have taken a tremendous hit economically and mammoth job losses, I doubt if all draws will resume sooner.
Once again this is just my theory. Also, my sister is studying in Montreal and my cousin in Toronto. Both are there for more than 1 year -> have good contacts with people from various businesses, domains -> but were laid off due to lack of business. My friend works in DeJong's Insurance Ltd, Calgary as an engineer and he too was laid off. Their outcry about the job loses is just insane and they said apart from IT and few sectors, Canada with its higher cost of living is going through a tough phase.
Optimist dudes might have another theory but I have clearly spoken with them and letting you know the situation there. Even I'm heartbroken looking at the condition there.
Gone are the golden days of immigration during the 2017, 2018 and early 19 eras.

In an earlier thread of mine today, I mentioned that I'm doing this forecast out of boredom.
I too believe that draws will only commence in July, this was purely an exercise to pass time by and not for people to take as fact, but rather to understand where one may possibly be, in a pool of 140k + candidates. Hence, tailored to a score of 471 with a tie-breaker.

To brothers and sisters waiting for ITAs,

I am in the forum for 2 years and entered the pool at April last year with CRS 450. I still remember the CRS cut-off just went skyrocketed after April and people in this forum like @facethereality kept saying that the CRS scores will never go down to 470s and people should give up their Canadian dreams. At that time, I just feel so desperate and thought I would never be able to come to Canada. However, I didn't give up and kept trying to boost my scores by retaking the IETS tests and finally got my ITA in February. The thing I wanna tell everyone in this post waiting for the ITAs is if you really believe in your Canadian dreams, do you easily give up and hanging there, your time will come. While we are anxiously waiting for the invitations to come, we should always hope for the best and prepare for the worst. This post is called the Ray of hope, not the Ray of reality.

I hope all you guys waiting there will get good news soon!!

Bit of a weird one here, I just got a request for my biometrics for my Express Entry, however as we know they’re all closed. I did my biometrics back in March for my post graduation work permit which was approved. Any idea if they will allow me to use those for my Express Entry application?
