I am not saying that they will not get an ITA. I said that there's a thin chance of not getting an ITA because of the Tie breaker rule. Whatever you said in your posts is correct except the
CIC example mentioned on their website. Their example is correct as well, they have applied the FIFO rule and the whole pool is organized by the tie breaker rule now.
Tie breaker rule applies to each applicant at or above the CRS cut off.
New approach to rank candidates with the same CRS score
We can now break ties between candidates with the same rank in the pool.
The Express Entry system ranks candidates in the pool by their CRS score. In case of a CRS tie, the system will then
rank all tied candidates based on the date and time that they submitted their profile.
For example:
The highest ranked candidates are invited during rounds of invitations. If we issue 3,500 invitations during a round, the system will pick the top 3,500 candidates at that time. The cut-off for the round is set by the CRS and submission date of the 3,500th candidate. It could look something like this:

Note, if you update your profile, the system will keep the original date and time stamp when you first submitted your profile. But, your profile will have a new time and date stamp if:
- you choose to withdraw your profile and create a new one instead or
- your profile expires and you submit a new one
