They did. I hope you weren't about to send your application :( Per Backgrounder at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2010/2010-06-26c.asp:

"
2. Why are temporary foreign workers and international students no longer eligible to apply for permanent residence under the federal skilled worker program?

Temporary foreign workers and international students are still eligible to apply under the federal skilled worker category if they have an offer of arranged employment or experience in one of the 29 in-demand occupations.

However, we’ve removed the eligibility criterion that applied to temporary foreign workers and students specifically to avoid overlap with the now-established Canadian Experience Class and the Provincial Nominee Program, both of which target the same pool of applicants. "

These criteria affect you only if you applied on or after June 26, 2010. If your application was received before June 26, 2010, it will be processed according to the rules that were in effect at that time.
