Is 465 a good score under CEC Category?

Hi there, I received my IELTS score today L-8.5 R-7.5 W-6.5 S-7.5. With one year of Canadian experience, it makes my CRS score 465. Are there any chances of CEC-specific draws in the coming few months or should I book my test one more time just to get 0.5 extra in the Writing section? Any help will be appreciated.

We don't know if there will be further CEC draws. I wouldn't count on it since this is an unknown. I would work to increase your score.

Why don't you give it some few weeks/months as long as you won't lose points in age. Every IELTS is different so getting the extra 0.5 points is not guaranteed. 465 is a good score for CEC but who knows if there'll be a CEC draw. I suggest you wait if age is not a factor

Yes, I think you should wait it out. This was my score too, I got ITA in April though.
