Hoping to see it drop an avg. of 5 points in each of the next 5 draws. I'm hoping it drops to near 445 or so by then, I'm currently at 447. The other option is if the scores continue to drop (fingers crossed), that when OINP does re-open a lot of the higher scores will have already been cleared out leaving more PNP options for those of us below 450. All of these are hopes of course, there are no guarantees, we've seen both the amount of ITAs, and the timing of draws be wildly inconsistent. Things are certainly looking up at the moment however!
Everything is unpredictable but all the trends say we might see the light on the end of the tunnel fast. I would be happy for a 3point drop for every draw + the consistency !
Patricia my Bday is in mid March, so I'm in the same situation. I'd love for it to drop to 447 before my bday, I missed out twice by 1 point during the draws last January.

I am at 447 as well...all logic suggests that the scores will drop to at least the 440 level, maybe not in the first half of the year but the second half. However, the number of ITAs being issued has to remain at the same level as the last few draws. The reason why I think the scores will come down to that level only during the second half of the year is because the scores haven't dropped to below the current level for close to 9-10 months, which would have resulted in a lot of candidates having accumulated between the 440-467 band. Some people on this forum have suggested that there may be 500 candidates at every point below 468, but honestly I don't think the numbers would be that high. If we can get the year end report from CIC or even a composition of the pool at the end of 2016 then we can have the exact picture of where each one of us stands and the predictions would be much more accurate...cheers!!
IMO anything above 440 has a very good chance of receiving ITA before the end of this year. However, if you can't wait for that long then try PNP options
