Maybe they were French? (Primarily)

They'd have been doing the French test, presumably. You only have to do one or the other. No point making it hard on yourself, right?

Thanks for clarification. Thought you do both so that you can get more total points.

For the skills-based immigration (not the startup immigration) you're right, you can do both. You can get up to 16 points for your primary language (out of [English|French]), and up to 8 points for the other one. So it can be worth getting even a very low qualification for your second language, if you need to tack on a point or two to reach the threshold.
