as others said, the first two draws will show us a lot.
CICs original plan for EE was to reach 100k ITAs at some point, for the first two years it was around 35k, therefore there is still room to grow, however no one knows for sure.
If the numbers of ITAs keep it up at 2k+ per draw, the score will drop faster than we think, because PNPs and others won't catch up with ITAs hence the drop. so probably we will see 450 by February.
On the other hand, if the ITAs go back to 1k, and with OINPs getting issued and more students getting on EE and other applicants, and as the EE system gets more known, more active applicants will be on EE with score around 440-480, therefore it might take longer to clear and reach 450, maybe by summer time.
Let's all hope for everyone's sake that ITAs keep being issued as if there is no tomorrow, and we reach 440 by March.
Good luck everyone for the next draw.!!!
