No, probably around 700 of them are at 500. Notice the cutoff time is Oct 10 so pretty much all 500 candidates were drawn.

If you're FSW Outland, how exactly can you get 500 crs?
My sibling is single, age 27, more than 4 years experience in IT with masters degree. Even if he achieve the highest scores in IELTS, it will only get him 496.
Does this mean PNP is the only route?

Well 496 will likely get ITA in the next draw. I think people either have PhD or they have French to get over 500 as FSW Outland.

Congrats to everyone who got their ITAs today!
Did you get the ITA in your email today or is there usually a lag between the actual draw and the ITA notification?

Just to confirm: there is nothing we have to do to accept ITA (accepting is sending an application, but there is nothing to click or confirm at this point?)
When you apply and send your documents, that is considered an acceptance of invitation, if there is such a thing, lol.
Welcome to post-ITA stress, buckle up, coz after sending in your application, there will be pre-PPR anxiety and finally post-landing everyday worry, ;-)

Congrats guys!!!

Congratulation to everyone who got the invite in this round.

I have also received the ITA today and have a question about the 5562 form, my travel history entries require a lot more space than the one given in the form. Can someone suggest the best way to ensure all travel history can be added correctly? Thanks.

Hi guys, Really happy to finally see all those congratulations and wishes on this forum after a long time. My score is 474 and likely to drop to 469 in November due to my age. Given the current trend, if the draw size stops at 4750 and they happen regularly without any further interruptions, there would be around 80,750 more invitations by June 2023. and considering an average of new entrants, do you think the score will drop below 470 by june next year. Need your opinion

Realistically, 470 is going to be very hard!! 500-600 CRS group wasn't crowded at all hence score dropped quickly with 3000-4700 ITA's but 450-500 CRS group have roughly 65000 candidates and lot of people will join this score group as well in future.

Sub-500 window is extremely competitive. There are more than ~16000 applicants in just the 481-500 window and it will take several months of consistent draws for them to clear up before the CRS can settle around ~470 again (pre-pandemic scores). However, I am quite hopeful that this number can be achieved by mid-2023 (June-July). Some users of this forum were even saying that CRS will not drop below 500 in 2022! But we are at 500 and still have 5 draws to go (hopefully).
