Scope and Impact of Express Entry Category-Based draws on future draw figures

The current draw may look a bit concerning. But overall Canada is seeing a rise in the selection of applicants. Also, such changes are not only normal but expected. Because now Canada has expanded the draw types and frequency of conducting draws. As a result, we will see a rise in ITAs but across multiple EE draw types such as:

1. General draw
2. FSW draw
3. FST draw
4. CEC draw
5. PNP draw
6. Category-based draw

So, technically, your options of getting an invitation to apply for permanent residency are higher. However, we also can not ignore the industry speculations regarding the feasibility of the same. It is being argued that the expansion of draw types shall lead to the selection of people in small pockets with no clarity on when and how an applicant will be selected for PR. Also, Canada is still showing positive immigration trends, so is it either wise to stay in the EE pool and wait for the EE draw type that best suits your chances of selection or one should employ methods to increase their CRS score and exit the EE pool as soon as possible?
