Yes, cap was reached. My coworker received the same email like copied above.

Can you please advise us all of the following:

1. When did your co-worker file his/her application
2. When did he/she receive the email
3. Was her payment encashed?

Thanks

I will believe this rumor of CAP reached as soon as any November 2014 applicant gets his or her file back or CIC's announcement that the CAP is reached.

This came from a person who's application was received at CIO Sydney on October 23, 2014, NOC 1223. They received their application back yesterday. So sorry everyone.

 

[bimbim]

Oh Now i believe. CAP reached! :-\ But, Life Goes On

There will always be a way out. Goodluck everyone!

I do no want scare anybody. I am just shearing my experience and I can't understand too what is happening...

Follows the screen shot..
My application reached Sydney Oct 22.

TD bank said me that the money draft was cashed out. (I do not know when)

for the guy who has just received it back... did they charged?

 

[Ivan.Galv]

Well...since more people confirmed these CAP reached news, we can consider it as true fact.
I am just wondering, why some people report that they were cashed and package was returned? Is CIC going to return the money?

 

[Amisnic]

Yes, and how it works is that the person at CIC who opens the application ensure payment is received before someone else perhaps in some other section issues AORs. It would appear that the right had of CIC does not talk to the left hand and as such they lost track of number of applications received and AORs issued. But we must realise that they have a lot of work on hand as well and they have to follow stringent procedures.

EE first time draw will happen soon. unfortunately, this chance is missed now.

I had received lots of negative ratings for insisting that the count (of CEC applications) in CIC's website was of AORs issued and not of application packages received.

A little pessimism might have helped many applicants take early preparation for an alternative, like EE.

And indeed my forecast back in August 18 was too optimistic!

The "number of total apps received" in CIC website represents those for which AOR has been sent out. You based your response on the figure from August 12, which was 2,147. Assuming it takes 50 days to receive AOR:

-> 2,147 actually represents all apps received on ~ June 22.

-> So basically, from May 01 to June 22, 2,147 applications were submitted.

-> Going by the above trend, 1295 applications are being received by CIC per month.

-> At this rate, it would take 6 months and 5 days from May 01 for the total number of apps to reach the cap.

-> My calculations tell me CIC will most likely stop accepting applications sent after November 05, 2014.

Don't take it too seriously though. Number of applications received per month can fluctuate.

So by that logic should everyone is who has not received an AOR including September applicants expect that their application will be returned?...I just cant grasp that CIC will have to organize to repay everyone who paid by Bank draft and has been cashed.

Can you check with your bank with what date as I am very worried now. My application was received the 10th of October cashed December 31st and now freaking out my application will be returned

 

[Andrew1982]

TD bank in Calgary can't provide me this information.
I asked twice...

i wish i known that too....

TD told me the information and the date and printed off the screen shot of the system. I dont get how TD cant do it for you. This is very worrying for everyone who is waiting for AOR and thought they were safe.

I am sorry it happened to you.

Not necessarily
