This is excellent advice :), kolhapuri.
I know some people have escaped this in the past, but if it is so that agents have been stockpiling applications and CIO get hit with a large number on the first few opening days, then they will have to discriminate between who is sent further and ho is not.
Any criteria that has not been met to the letter will be fuel for the fire, I think.
I read one poster who claimed that they have a policy of accepting all applications received on the same day. Well, I have not heard of that before and I am not sure how they got this information but maybe that was true when they were receiving them in dribs and drabs, but if there is a huge avalanche of applications on the first day that exceeds the tiny quota of 500 for a category such as nursing, they will most certainly NOT accept them all just because they all arrived on the same day. They will be looking even more carefully for errors, omissions and deviations from the rules on order to select those who will make it through.
I would make absolutely sure that everything on the application is exactly as they state before I submit if I was going for the new intake and I would not be at all surprised if they redated the forms just prior to the new year start for that reason.

Re-dating the forms just prior to July 1st would certainly scupper all the immigration consultants (and those people stupid enough to use them) who charge very large sums of money for stockpiling applications and deliverying them to CIC on 1st July.

True Wayne, but by doing so, the thick skinned consultants dont lose anything as they get paid as soon as the app is dispatched. It is the suckers who use them lose out on opportunity of emigrating. Some of them will have to wait for another year if their NOC gets full soon.

Tbh if we were applying this year instead of last year, obviously knowing the NOCs will fill up very quickly, I reckon we'd book a holiday to Nova Scotia around 1st July, so we could react quickly to any forms changes and hand the application in ourselves having checked the forms online that very morning.

The return flights and accomodation would be comfortably less money than paying a consultant an extortionate amount to do this for us.

wayne..u think priorty now would b given to cases applied after 1st july 2011 than to cases after 26 june 2010?...????????

It would make no sense to do so - since the in-demand occupation list has not changed.

CIC gave priority to June 2010 over pre-June-2010 because they had a more up to date in-demand occupation list and also 1/10th of the applications compared with the 144,000 outstanding for pre-June-2010. With July 2011 the list is the same and the number of June 2010+ applications is small and manageable.

So my guess, and it is just a guess, is that they will treat June 2010+ and July 2011+ with equal priority based on the date the application was received.

But of course, with CIC anything is possible - so who knows? :)

Wayne.
 
Nope i dont think so - since 29 NOC list seem to remain the same so the previous applicants under 20,000/ cap and new under 10,000/ should have the same level of top priority followed by apps under 38 NOC....thats what i think...

Hello friends,

I see no progress in my file since 4 months. I am waiting for my medicals. :)

I have no patience since nearly all the applicants around my application date have got it and there my e-cas still shows "In Process" since 28th Feb.
Does it mean the process going slow or the file having some detailed investigation..???
Please help me..i am worried for this kind of slow process.

Mitsu :)
 
pls update the info of Victory and Manji in spreadsheet. Both have decision made status..
 
wait is killing ..guys/wayne..is there any way that the updation done by cic can be known automatically by email or so? or do we have to keep checking again and aagain...also..there have been some fellows who got their visas stamped but their status still says in process...i think its right..anything can happen...anythinggggggggggggg...
