Don't think so. The requirements and eligibility under each economic program hasn't changed. And according to CIC:

A) Basic eligibility
We will only process your FSW application if you have:

at least one year of continuous and paid (full-time or an equal amount in part-time) work experience
in a single occupation,
within the last 10 years,
at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC)
AND

You have this work experience in one of the eligible occupations,
OR

You have a valid offer of arranged employment,
OR

You are an international student who is enrolled in a PhD program in Canada (or who graduated from a Canadian PhD program within the past 12 months) and meet these criteria.


Plus some other criteria.

It's clearly stated on CIC website as minimum requirement.

Not every thing one finds on google are correct.
