I do believe in the first 3 months of 2017 the cutoff will go down to 440. Don't forget the number of ita's that will count towards 2017 quota are from June 2016 to June 2017
I'm not so sure about the 440 cut off. Economic stream's quota for this year is still lower than 2015's (172,500 vs. 181,300), so if they still keep the ITAs per draw around 1,500 like 2015. I don't see the score will go down 450.
No to mention that we are going to have more bonus points for CEC stream, french speaking and people with Canadian siblings. Let's wait for the Year End report and what changes are going to happen next few weeks.

This looks like some good news and the points should go down considerably before even year end.
Total invitaions since June 1, 2016 = 10,903
Target for 20176 (ITAs till June 2017) = 73,700 (Only Federal Economic Class)
Remaining ITAs for 7 months = 62797
ITAs per month = 8,971
Suppose they continue with 2 draws a month, ITAs per draw = 4485 and thats a huge number!!!
Even if they take 3500 ITAs per draw, the score should drop below 450 easily.

Thats even better! But even if we count all ITAs are apporved, its still a huge number and will easily drop the scores below 450 before year end. I guess the Nov 2 draw will clear things up.

How is that better? we have no idea how many applications have been approved? remember there are literally hundreds of thousands of backlog applications pre-EE.
There is virtually no chance for a ~4,000 ITA draw.
Backlog is reduced, ita's were slow is July August September of 2016 and federal skilled targets are increased by 15000. I don't see how cutoff will not go down considerably.
