I think that bonus could impact people that are from french speaking countries, such as Nigeria and France, and that had very "weak" profiles. Yet, I'm not sure this represents a huge number of people. In accordance with the IRCC, less than 4% of the people in the pool have french skills. 4 PER CENT. It's a very small number.
But, I guess we'll see the real impact in a few hours. I really hope this will not impact current CRS scores, since I know there is a lot of people in the 470-471 range that are waiting their ITAs for so long.
