dear smd i am waiting for ur comments
I think you want to indicate that the combined no. of visas issued to both PA and Dependents (Skilled Workers) is much higher than the targets viz. 55000
But as I was going through all the factsheet-2010 and data from CIC this morning, I came to know that the figures mentioned in "Skilled Workers" include both "Federal Skilled Workers" as well as "Quebec Skilled Workers".....
If we separate the quebec applications from the figures, (You can do it on Microsoft Office Excel Worksheets downloaded from data cic website).... we find that the no. of visas issued to FSW "persons" is more or less same as their targets.
So, I think what smd tries to convey is right and justified.
Visa targets appear to include both PA's and Dependents.
