Hope you know how dynamic the pool was in between April and August when CIC was issuing about 2k or less ita per month ( at some point 1.5k) while 1.5k enter the pool per week ( deficit of 4.5k per month for five months). It took only 2.5 months to bring CRS from 500+ to 470, even in the face of ita vultures, the lmia job holders. So what now gives the impression that for months CRS points will be above 495. Note that at any point in EE, when there is an interval of 3weeks or more between draws, CRS point increases by about 20 points from the previous point. In this case we had 4 weeks, some people got additional
Points, so for the score to move from 470 to 497 is not out of place . When you are guessing, please guess with commonsense. That's my vew
