If you want to boost your points and get an ITA before November ends, you could definitely go and rewrite it.
But with your points, you should be able to get an ITA before the years ends for sure. Unless 50,000 unexpected applicants will appear with the score 500+.

Hoping for a Tech Draw as well but seems like it is very random unlike FST.

Two major factors effecting the Express Entry pool are;

1. Candidates with higher scores are becoming aware of the Canadian Immigration plan (I met two people today at one place with a difference of just 10 minutes who are planning to immigrate to Canada. The first one was opting for SINP and the second for Federal Skilled with score as high as 470)

2. Students in Canada who have graduated and have been on work permit since the last couple of years are also part of our race. And trust me these lot have really high scores. Like a friend of mine who is in Toronto graduated an year back. Scored CLB 10 in 3 and CLB 9 in writing, has a sibling who is already a PR and has Canadian work experience. Entered the pool with 486 points. So these guys are tough.

Who would want to come back from a country like Canada when they have stayed there for more than 2 years. And Canada is giving them an opportunity to become citizens with least hurdles. Unlike all of us. Well, we should work our best to increase our scores. And keep supporting each other by all means. Soon we might immigrate to Canada one day.
Agreed
my noc is under prioritized occupations but not for the tech draw so that would rule me out but you're right..it does seem very random
Ontario has already issued enough NOIs to meet their yearly nomination Quota. Unlikely there will be a new draw before 2020.

They should change things so that people need a minimum of 1000 CRS points to be given an invite to immigrate to Ontario or any other heavily populated province. Ontario as it seems is too crowded as it is already.
You are a funny guy :D

I have inadvertently deposited $11,000 cash in my salary account which is around 60% of my entire POF. Doing some late research, I found out that depositing cash is an absolute terrible idea. My father recently sold a property so I can show a sale deed along with gift deed. However, the sale deed is not in English language and I don't want to open a new pandora box by showing it. More so, because the payment I am using was a part of cost paid in cash so the amount didn't go to my father's account first.

I can now take the cash out, deposit it in my father's account and have him transfer it the right way. But the VO will see the $11,000 fumble in my account prior to gift money coming in. I heard getting a new account is also a bad idea. Does anyone have a better idea?

P.S: I am expecting an ITA soon so there is no way to showing a 6 month ageing.
I have read somewhere that you can get the sale deed translated and notarized. I think with proper documents and explanation in LoE would serve the purpose. You don't have to move funds if you can get the translated sale deed.

And you think that would help? That means immigrate to other provinces would be easier and there will be a lot more who come to those smaller provinces. After getting PR, all of them coming back to Ontario. Problem solved eh?
