NOC 2171

[rabiboy]

Hi Marry, I am just sharing the below. Apparently one of the members got unlucky.

Attention All 2171 applicants

I am a 3rd Sept, 2014 applicant. I got a reply for my email I sent on 6th Nov, 2014. And below is the reply.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please be advised that your application was returned with all attachments on January 10, 2015 as the cap of NOC 2171 has been reached. A letter of explanation was provided along with the application package.

Please note: all returned applications are sent via regular mail to the mailing address as entered on the application package. There is no tracking number. Once the application is mailed, its delivery is the responsibility of the postal service. Applications are not sent via courier.

Thank you for your interest in Canada.

This now rests all speculations regarding any future prospects for 2171. The most important to note here is that my app was returned only last friday, i.e., 10th Jan, 2015. Dont know why it took more than 50 days for them to return my app after the cap fill. Anyway, it does not matter now.

I wish every one all the very best!!

Thank you so much for sharing the information...The reply has come in november so this person can apply in EE with the extra information which might have got missed earllier... I have no idea my application is going to be accepetd or rejected. I am currenty in UK and so i dont hav any idea what postal service would these people use to contact us back... Any idea guys... Can we mail CIC to ask them about us ?

So if I apply and state that I haven't applied even though I did, it will be seen as misrepresentation?

Has anyone called CIC to verify this? If you read the question 30 about Express Entry, it says you can apply to EE even if you have a pending application so as I understand it, it's a completely new one.

30. I am currently waiting for my application for permanent residence to be processed in the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Can I submit an Express Entry profile?

You may submit a new Express Entry profile, but it is not necessary. However, we will not refund any processing fees paid related to your original application. Your existing application will be processed based on the rules in place at the time you applied.

If you choose to create an Express Entry profile and are invited to apply, you will be required to submit a new application for permanent residence and the associated processing fees

For returned applications, I am not sure if they will still capture this information in their system... I suggest that you be honest and tell them that you did applied. But if there are subsequent questions such as application number, I dont think you will get it even after you rcv'd your application back... In that case, if it stops you from proceeding further, then answer "No" to the question.
