Please don't continue the FrenchYea . Will continue
I guess this French stuff is driving the CRS inflation.
People think that their score is not high enough because the CRS is too high after the COVID pause and worry about the new targeted draw, then they start to learn french.
A lot of people start to learn french, and more people in the pool with high CRS points, and the CRS cutoff will stay high.
Then, since people think that their CRS is not high enough to get selected, they start to learn french.
It is a vicious cycle..
Probably equilibrium CRS will be above 481 and the only way for FSW applicants to get selected is to learn French.
It seems that we are still in CRS cutoffs 496 and 494, but there are only 2 CRS points dropped in one draw..
If everyone stops learning French, the CRS cutoff score will go down..
