    I strongly dislike with your post and refuse to 'remember' it! :P BTW, there's a great forum for such posts: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/fswp-2013-chit-chat-congrats-question-answer-thread-t155273.105.html :)

    If your IELTS is still valid at the date when your applications is received by CIO, then you're fine.

    A couple of thoughts on CIO speed. I see that in 20 days from 6/18 to 7/8, 40 of our members got their money charged, which is 2 per day, on average. And BTW, 20 days is not so small sample for this purpose so we could even get some usable stats from it. This forum had 4% of all the...

    No one being charged after July 8th could only mean that the global cap is reached. Which is very very unlikely, to say it mild. :) But hey, it's only the morning of July 10th right now. Maybe CIC is out of internet. :) Or striking as well as others. Or they don't charge cards on Tuesdays. Or...

    I wasn't trying to lower anyone's expectations here, actually I'm normally going towards the opposite, so I'm sorry If you interpreted my response in that way. The number of 4% comes from the stats that we had for previous years - FSW 2011. At that time, all the people on this forum who applied...

    Just a small side information - Quebec announced new intake rules, applicable from August 1, 2103, in case someone's considering it besides the FSW. They are now demanding the advanced medium French to gain points on it, QSW cap is at 20000 (without a job offer), also they officially announced...

    Quebec have just announced the new rules and program: http://www.canadavisa.com/news/entry/quebec-announces-new-immigration-rules-09072013.html They are asking for better French now and have a cap of 20000 apps in Skilled Worker scheme.

    Hey, congrats to all of you fresh PERs! :) It's a shame there was no CIC updates today though... I have to start doing less forum checks. Things seems to be going well with whole this process so now just have to wait and see how it goes.

    I'd say you still have pretty good chance. There are 21 people in 2131 being registered on forum, so for you to make it, 2131 guys here should make at least 7% of the global applications. If 2 years ago this site had a percentage of ~4%, it's not impossible to have it around 7% this year. Also...

    Of course I do, I wasn't speaking in absolute numbers, but in relative. We have: 1112 - 28 apps 2174 - 15 apps 2147 - 7 apps And almost all of the rest are 1 or 0, so that shows the ratio among the NOCs. And somehow - it makes sense to me that exactly those NOCs will be huge, so, again to me...

    Further, to break the global limit, we need approximately 12-15 NOCs hitting their own limit (which goes in total to around 3600-4500 applications) with the rest of 'cold' NOCs making up the difference. I don't see that happening so soon. Another important thing - it took 10.5 months last year...

    Nizam, I beg to differ so I will still keep my expectations. :) Sorry, but I applied late and I can't just say now - I'm giving up hope! :) BTW, I don't believe the global cap can possibly be met 'till September because of one simple reason - the limit is put at 300 per NOC and there are with...

    Medtech? What NOC is that exactly? 3211, 3212? If any of those two, I think you have pretty good chances, provided that you prepared your application well. Check the spreadsheet of this forum's members here...

    Wow... This really makes you wonder, but still it's written by those who failed. Maybe we should look at some other experiences too. We have people here already working for, or living in CA.

    Congratulations to all charged today! And also I would like to give my opinion on rules/no rules/spam etc. I hear that one part of the public here says that they want to see less noise than usual and there's nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. This is the web forum. Not 5-10 of us sitting...

    Guys I'm not sure we're doing all that good to us or CIC by calling them several times per day or week. What do you think?
