This is because there were large number of temporary workers in Canada with a job offer who wanted to settle permanently in Canada.

However, we should take into account the changes that were made by IRCC in the CRS in November last year.

According to IRCC, these changes helped in attracting top talent from across the world. The reports from IRCC shows the effect these changes had on the places of residence and the occupation of the new immigrants that are being invited to the country. Considering the fact that these changes were implemented late in 2016, that effect it really had on the immigration system will be seen in the later half of 2017.
