Focus on yourself
There are lots of posts here about how there are lots of frauds in immigration, how things are unfair and how genuine people like them deserve PR. I want to give a simple advise that these things are distractions. Wasting time over these don't help you in anyway.
Your goal is simple: Get enough points in CEC category while being eligible or switch to a different category where you will. Anything else is a complete distraction and you are distracting yourself from your goal of getting your PR. If there are any loopholes or frauds, Canada will look at them and they will face consequences or they will not. It doesn't change your situation in any way.
Another thing I've noticed is entitlement of some people in the pool. It honestly does not matter the way you get your points. Anyone with masters does not automatically deserve or get PR over a diploma holder. If they play their cards right, a diploma holder can max out at 523 points even without French or LMIA. This is more than many masters holders I see here.
