Like someone said, it's a tough situation. FSW draws are being pushed aside and nobody knows when they will resume, if they will resume. The thing with a student visa is you'll need to do a 2 year degree to get a longer work permit and eventually apply as CEC in 3+ years. The problem with a 1 year PG diploma is that you'll get a 1 year work permit, and unless you're lucky enough to find a job immediately after graduation, you won't get enough experience to fulfil the CEC requirements. Not to mention any potential changes they make to PGWP eligibility in the next two years. So the student visa route is a big investment without that much direct reward (but potentially useful).
On the other hand your score is high enough that you;ll eventually get through with FSW if they ever resume the draws. Maybe apply for a student visa and apply to universities for Fall 2022 (admissions for 2021 are closed now). And by the time you get into a university (~ Feb 2022) you'll have a better idea about whether ot not FSW will resume.
They will resume FSW draws only after clear the backlog of 2019 and 2020. So this is it for FSW this year I guess. Wasted so much money and time for IELTS and ECA.

Lol what. They are not ''early CEC applicants''. It is a new stream altogether and they're waiving the work experience requirement completely. And IRCC doesn't reduce or increase scores, that's just a function of how many eligible candidates are in the pool. IRCC is well ahead of its track to meet (and most likely far exceed) this year's immigration quota.
People shouldn't read too much into the situation, last year they did restart all program draws once the situation improved, there's no reason to believe FSW is getting cancelled when the situation is worse now than it's ever been in terms of new cases.
They are just taking corrective action to offset the loss of FSW intake with getting more people who would just end up being CEC candidates sooner rather than later to make up the shortfall for this year. It's clearly stated these programs are temporary, nothing suggests FSW intake would not restart once the pandemic is under control.
Don't be reactionary, think logically.
If you're a high scoring FSW candidate my advice is to simply wait, see how things progress for the remainder of the year into early next year. I don't think now is the time to look into the study permit route, let things crystalize by early next year.
In any case, you aren't missing much, right now is probably the worse time to land in Canada, the job market is hyper competitive, lots of companies are on hiring freezes, and you can barely do anything with the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. That's with most of the high expense in tact related to living costs.
