I think if they had drawn 1500 ppl or more...then I am sure the scores would have fallen down to 430-440. CIC is artificially keeping the scores that high as they want to maintain some quality i bet...
Remember the pool is dynamic...people all over the world are creating profiles and everybody situation changes over time.
They will not give ITAS to persons from ONE COUNTRY ONLY...it will be wide and varied based on other demographic markers...
So I believe even if u have the score of 453....and there are 1000 people from a given single country who have entered the pool with that same score....they may not get a ITA....
