Cap on FSW category for year 2010

[navneetgarg120]

I just read on http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf on page number 11 that cap on total number of applications for a category will be considered for processing from 26 June 2010 to 30 June 2011. On July 01, 2011 a new cap will be applied.

I read on different threads that in Jan 2010 this limit will be reset. Can I ask senior members to comment on this?

"Between June 26, 2010, and June 30, 2011, a maximum of 20,000 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications will be considered for processing. Within the 20,000 cap, a maximum of 1,000 Federal Skilled Worker applications per eligible occupation will be considered for processing within this same time frame."

I am a bit confused. I am a skill B worker (according to the classification on their website) and my occupation is not on that list, so I do not fall under this cap. Am I right?
