Please check the data provided by CIC as of May 19 - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/rounds.asp
As 415 was the CRS cut off for the May 17th draw, nobody existed above 421 on May 17, but on May 19 (2 days after the draw), there are 347 people with CRS 421 and above. That is an average of 170+ folks getting added per day with 421 CRS and above!

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score distribution of candidates in the Express Entry pool as of May 19, 2017

CRS Score Range Number of Candidates
601-1200
50
451-600 136
441-450 51
431-440 59
421-430 51
Irrespective of these Numbers, It can't be more than 421 and 170+ on daily basis. If it remains like what you'he said, numbers will be 2400-2500 if draw is taking place after 1 week interval. This will not help CRS going lower than 415. Also, many of us are just improving scores and shifting from one range to another.

Need a bit of help.... while creating EE profile, we need to provide First Name and Last Name... But I dont use last name and CIC doesn't allow to leave "last name" field as blank. Please suggest what to write in last name in this case?

You mean, you don't have (or use) any surname? So, the name on your Passport/other documents is just a Single Name?

Yes!

My name mentioned just under Given Name and that is correct... no surname for me...

For example:

Given Name - Gurdeep Singh
Last Name - <none>

Take opinions from others too, but the way I see it. Your first name is Gurdeep and last name Singh. (Last name: the word in your name that comes at last)

You can get a Canadian Driving Licence (Basic), with a Driving Credential from your home country. Most jobs will require you to own a car or at least demonstrate that you can drive one. Very useful after you land.
Thanks for explaining this.

But Isn't the driving licence sufficient?

I'm asking this because you said a letter from RTO.. Is there a separate letter that you have to procure?

CRS Data

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CNPZqJo7ZoRYiwAeNnrVT68FEVg0MYAOmPoFfx3KXVk/edit?usp=sharing



I think a lot of people with crs between 400 and 440 have been watching EE for a while, but with crs in 475-500 range, they didn't want to spend money getting their eca done and ielts retaken. Once crs started going down, they rushed to get their eca done and took/retook ielts. I think most ppl in the range of 410-440 have already gone through this process and received eta in last couple of months. Now people between 390 and 410 are going through this phase. That's why more people entering the pool have crs between 390 and 410. I have no data to prove this. This is just a guess based on my personal experience (i am one of them) and post draw snapshots of the EE pool.

A Driving License will suffice but only if it is an International Driving Permit issued in US, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, Austria & Belgium.

True.

But we need to fill the details as per passport, in passport last name is blank... :(
In that case, get an Affidavit that states that your last name is omitted in your documents, and submit it as LoE while filing your APR post ITA.
