Thanks for your appreciation.
As per FSWP2014 thread spreadsheet latest download as of today, there are total of 647-applicants between the period of 19th Nov and 31st December 2014. Several statistical calculations done by other formites conclude that spreadsheet of this FSWP2014 thread reprsents roughly 30% worldwide applicants. It implies that there would be maximum of 3000 to 4000 applications received after the last update done on 16th December by CIC which mentioned that there were approximately 16000+ applications already passed through completeness check. Means maximum number that will reach for all of the FSWP2014 applications reached at CIO would be roughly 20K to 22K. But I don't see any indication that it would have touched the 25K figure. Furthermore if most of the applications in this period of 19th Nov till 31st December were from the hot NOCs then it will further ensure that cold NOC would be considered with 100% confidence level.
Therefore I am pretty confident that all of the applications of cold NOCs would certaintly be considered whereas there is a little ambiguity for the NOCs which are already 700+ applications on 16th December as per last update of CIC.
