They're currently valuing people with jobs in Canada already over those with the skills/capability to improve the Canadian labour force.
With the recent bar set at 735 points, that means people were picked that (taking away LMIA/PNP) scored 135. i.e. poor education, skills transfer, and/or language.

The gov may say that it's due to integration, people with existing jobs will integrate easier.
If I were being cynical I'd say it could just be about money, people with existing jobs = tax payers.

However they've been pretty transparent that EE is a mechanism to try and help those working in Canada get PR.

With the latest at 735, I'd think surely they must be starting to select from the non-LMIA/PNP candidates very soon.

not really, I'm quite sure the majority of people having jobs are those without LMIA, which was assigned 0 point in this system
