Hello,
We had also sent application last year. But as there were many changes in the rules and the IELTS thing, we could only make it on October 28. The CAP was closed just a day before our application reached, as per the letter we received from the CIC stating why our application was being sent back. There are too many view, much appreciated, in this forum. But it is still unbelievable that CIC is processing applications as of July 7 till now. As they have written, TOTAL NUMBER OF COMPLETE APPLICATIONS AS OF JULY 29, so we should go by the statement they are making, which means as of the given date. Now it is impossible to predict, whether my application, that reached on July 26 is within the CAP or not. None of us can predict the status, can we? But apparently, if we go by the statement, it seems that the total number of applications received on July 29 could be any figure, but the number of COMPLETE applications, which is post completeness check is 259. It could also mean that the number of applications received till July 28 have made it to the CAP, if of course those were complete in the sense CIC believes it to be.
This is just an opinion. Feel free to share your views.
