some province has nominated a federal skilled trades person who had 175 CRS, hence when CIC took a draw for PNP's they have included 775 as the cut off.
Federal Skilled Trades folks don't have scores like FSW guys so thats why they are nominated with way lower scores. Not sure how it shows CIC as desperate!
Oh so sorry about the desperate comment, no intent to hurt CIC. I understand that FSTP has lower scores that's why CIC is giving everyone a chance to be invited.
