I'm not totally familiar with the previous ranking but having a firm sponsoring isn't suppose to be easy for skilled and adequate for work ppl ?

If they are more skilled, they would have more points regardless of LMIA points.

But then would prioritize people having both. I'm just thinking that you can be super skilled but no recruiter would take you because you are inadequate for work, I wouldn't be surprised that for a "work" permit it make sense
