will it go down to 410 in next 3-4 months.. any hope?
There is a very good chance, keep your fingers crossed!! You also have a very good chance at OINP its opening this week, look out for that also, keep trying and looking, some opportunity will definitely come up in PNPs also.
I understand your anxiety, be positive and you will get through. God bless.

This isnt a stupid question. He is hoping for an ITA and in this thread has a right to ask. Its up to people whether to answer it or not

That is why this thread is called ray of hope. This ray hope was quite instrumental in the collapse of the 450 wall - brick by brick and next is 440 followed by 430 and so on.

I have been on this forum from April 2016 on wards. Never had such a anxiety and enthusiasm before. Let's be positive!!!
Same!!

I'll quickly discuss my past experience with OINP in case it helps people make a decision whether to accept it or not. I entered the pool in Dec 2015 with 452 points. A few days later, I got a PT NOI from OINP, but because I was at 452 I decided to hold out and wait for the scores to come out early in the year. I missed the cutoff by 1 point twice, at 453. Super frustrating!!! Then I lost 5 points in March due to my birthday, and I also gambled the score would fall, and missed out on OINP. It took from Dec 2015, until Feb 2017 for me to get an ITA, and to be honest I feel lucky to have gotten another shot.

There are no guarantees that the scores will continue to fall, or that CIC won't change the rules on you in the middle of the game. I spent a lot of time during 2016 wishing I had took that OINP invite, and luckily I got another shot. If you get OINP, start getting docs ready in case scores don't fall so that you can submit them. Don't miss out on your opportunity because of what you think might happen. Sometimes when you don't take an opportunity, you don't get another shot, and it's gone for good.

+1 for your quote. I am waiting at 438.

+1 mate

well TBH even if you took OINP back then , you would still have recd nomination after 1 year... so in a way you saved more than $1500 LOL... The only thing you added was regret, so if you remove that, overall you got a good deal :)
should think positively mate... LOLOLOL

good luck with rest of the journey.

Thanks guys for actually making the statement of what can be the probable things.
But yes I will take the chance and will wait till the penultimate Wednesday for the Express Entry draw knowing that ONIP wont bother us much for next 3-4 draws. If it doesn't come up, I will accept ONIP and thanks to this new online system which will save me the mailing time.

brain says
55th Draw : 441 ~ 3900 - 22 Feb
56th Draw : 435 ~ 4100 - 8 Mar (I am here with 438)

heart prays : 55th Draw : 436 historic draw (11 point reduction) 5500...
(I know this won't happen but my heart dreams a lot and i can't restrict it).

Definitely dont wanna miss this celebration :D
 
The guys at oopnp dot com are usually spot on with predictions and helpful in getting potential scenarios. I think we might be going to see CRS drop more in the next 2-3 draws, mostly till March end. :)
 
Shouldn't this be most active forum as it is nearly 48 hours before the draw and approx 24 hours for ONIP ? Are we praying or lurking at other forums or trying to sleep or sedate ourselves?
Lets make some buzz guys. this silence is killing me.

Before someone attacks you for mentioning them, I will say to you they are not the most reliable source, just in the contrary, they just copy what we say on this forum, no kudos for them.
