Confused about Mechanical Engineer (NOC 2132) openings

[EricShong]

Hi everyone,

I am preparing my application for CEC right now, and hopefully will submit it next week. Today, I was checking the number of applications of Mechanical Engineer (2132), however,
surprisingly I couldn't even find the entry of "mechanical engineer" anymore (I used to be able to see the entry and the number of applications accepted). Does it mean that the category of mechanical engineers (NOC 2132) has reached its capacity so that CIC just took it away from the website and will no longer accept applications for this occupation? Actually similar situations apply to other engineer occupations (civil, materials and electrical). You can only find entries of engineering technologists and technicians now..

Can anybody tell me why it is like that? Thank you so much and good luck on your applications.

Thank you very much. I noticed that the link you posted is for Federal Skilled Workers program, but what I am applying for is CEC. Do they share the capacity of each occupation?

Thanks again!

In CEC, only NOC B are capped, not 0 or A. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/applications-accepted.asp
