CEC returned applications in 2014--Cap reached

[AAA2133]

Hi folks,

For those of us who their PR application has been returned due to CEC cap story in 2014, should we answer Yes or No yo the question asking about if you already applied for permanent residency?

I already submitted my application and I said No since the section asks for a File Number which I have never been issued. But I read some stories here and there that it might be better to say Yes and give an explanation. I was thinking to send CSE to clarify my situation but I was not sure of it is really necessary?

If you have had similar situation and already got you PPR your input is much appreciated.

Thanks.

I am in the similar situation too. I presume we need not do worry as our application package was returned but not rejected. The letter sent by CIC along with the returned application doesn't specify anything like REJECTED.

Only if it’s processed, by CIC then we need to state as “Yes”. Otherwise CEC CAP reached is common and CIC don’t have any record of those

This is asked, only for referring back to your old application
