I am in the Express entry pool since 2015 and climbing the CRS ladder from 365 to 406 and finally 438.
If i applying as un accompanying spouse, my CRS is 460. Until the last draw i was hoping the CRS would come down to 438 in upcoming draws, but the last draw broke all my hopes and left pulling my hairs.

Do i wait???? or apply as un accompanying spouse??

Any advise??

If you and your spouse can stay alone without each other 12-18 months then nothing stoping you to apply with non accompanying spouse. You can apply for family sponsorship visa for your spouse once you are a pr card holder and fulfil other criteras. Whole process will take more than a year.
If you are asking for advice whether or not you should wait for cut off to fall at 438 then I could only say it is very unlikely.

Decision is yours. Good Luck!

Thanks for your advise... Let me check the Oct 17th draw and make my decision.

I achieved CLB 9 in all sections of IELTS on my 3rd attempt and challenged WES to re-evaluate my bachelors as 2 or more certificates because i had one bachelor and a diploma. This is my journey.

I would say, wait another couple of months. The CRS will drop.

has the CRS come down below 440 at all this year (or at least in the last 6 months?).

I get the feeling that the CRS cutoffs are just going to increase going forward (especially because of what is happening south of the border). I myself came from the US (for different reasons though), and know a lot of people who are now applying to Canada as a backup. I personally know at least 3 people, and many more that i saw at the IELTS exam center.

This is true. But the targets of total invitations have not yet been achieved, so technically CRS can drop.
