there was a poster here who learnt french from scratch in 9 months and got the necessary points and detailed everything in a post. after reading that post i will never attempt to learn french.
Man you should not be declining the ITA. You are wasting one candidate’s ITA. You will be fine if you submit after you complete 1 year. Think of all the people who would love to be in your place of even getting an ITA
No one on the Earth can predict IRCC. Anything and everything is possible. I belive if they wanted to drop CRS, they have plenty of ways. But it all depends on their intentions which only GOD knows. One thing I have learnt from my 2 years of struggle is that never giveup and never lose hope. Meanwhile, try to boost your score. Trend shows that cutoff is increasing. I have calculated the average of past 10 draws at every draw. It shows average increase steadily by 1 CRS point. Let see what happens next, I wish everyone could achieve their target as we all have given our best and speny alot of money.
Why would they care about dropping or increasing CRS point level? The only thing they care about is to invite and process their targeted number of immigrants which for the year of 2020 is just below 90,000 people. This does not mean 90,000 ITAs per year because many applicants come with their families, and some people get rejected on the way.
So everyone better focus on improving their scores. Otherwise look for other programs such as PNPs, start-up visa etc.
Don't forget EE program has become very popular and many people with good scores are coming in to the pool everyday. All those people who had to improve their IELTS do so, and rank higher, international students completing their Canadian experience, people completing their degrees, they all want to get on the train like many people here.
I'd suggest everyone to stop blaming the circumstances and playing "a victim". There is no certain way to predict the score now, as you don't even know how many applicants will join the pool this week.

Last draw, there were 21,652(536+21,116) candidates in the draw above 450 before the draw.(14th feb)
out of these 4500 were above 470 who received ITA.
so, 17,152 candidates were left in the pool above 450 after the draw. and "0" candidates above 471 as all of them received ITA.
Now 2 weeks after,
there were 22,473(568+21,905) candidates in the draw above 450 before the draw.(3rd march)
so, in 14 days, 22473-17152 = 5321 new candidates entered the pool above 450.
out of these 3900 were above 471 and were invited on 4th march(above 471).
so, almost all the candidates who received ITA in this draw entered the pool in last 14 days. this is happening for almost every draw.
the net influx of candidates above 470 on consistent basis is frightening.
so, almost every candidate that is entering Canada through express entry has masters with CLB 9 in IELTS and less than 29 yrs of age.
