For those who recently figured out that they haven't made the 1000 cap for 1122, please remember there is nothing to stop you obtaining a Permanent Resident Visa under the Skiller Worker category, you just have to get a job offer first.
So don't lose hope!
Do some research, send off some CVs and letters, and see what response you get. You can either get a job with an LMO (Labour Market Opinion) which will allow you to obtain a Temporary Work Permit and once working in Canada under that permit you can apply under Category 2, OR you can obtain an (AOE) Arranged Employment Offer if your employer is prepared to wait for you, and you then apply under Category 2 whilst outside of Canada so when you eventually start work you will already be a resident.
Backup plan could be of course to wait it out until July 2011, except there is no guarantee that NOC 1122 will be on the in-demand list at that time (there isn't even a guarantee that there will BE an in-demand list).
So my advice is to start looking for a job,
Best of luck,
Wayne.
