Why Canada did not hold an Express Entry draw this week

IRCC has provided an explanation on why this week's Express Entry draw did not happen.

This week’s Express Entry draw did not happen due to recent Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score changes made by the federal government.
On its website, the federal department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) explains that the absence of the regularly-scheduled draw is a result of IRCC’s announcement on Tuesday that it will now award more CRS points to French-speaking Express Entry candidates.
IRCC notes that:
The CRS scores of all profiles in the pool will be updated automatically before the next invitation round after the updates. This could take up to two weeks.
