Great news U-gal. keeps the hope alive.
Under review and process can be positive or negative depending on how one look at it. I believe that CIC will still store all information of an applicant with complete or incomplete application or rejection due to cap filled.
'Review and process' can also mean that the caps full and they are reviewing the information in preparation to send it back. If we can get two seniors(whose document were accepted or rejected) to tell us the information they received from CIC at the time they called. I know for rejection they(CIC call agent) say at a later stage that the document has been sent back. The key to deciphering this mystery is 'did the rejected application(as a result of cap filling) ever get 'Review and in Progress'.
They would probably make the application go through the normal process(including issuing UCI number: Always so funny seeing people calling CIC to request for this number as if getting this number transcends to CC, PER etc) irrespective of acceptance or rejection. My friend was rejected twice(finally got his PR last december) he had his UCI number written on the form even on the first time the document was sent back and that UCI number persisted till the PR was issued.
December 16th 2014, they(CIC) produce their last update, they introduce and additional column called Pending applications(completed applications waiting for MI Acceptance Review -
152 in all). This is where I fill the hope lies and could be the interpretation of the call center agent. For NOC 2172, Number of applications counted towards the 1000 sub-cap is
218 in all. Total is 370 and not 450 as reported by some members of the forum. Also I feel (remember now I could be wrong) that the application was filling up to quickly that it overwhelm the CIC guys that do charging/encashing - meaning that if the application has not gone through Acceptance review, charging has to pulse for a while :
. The rest of the application waiting MI acceptance would be completed in bulk and then charging will resume(No one declared charging after 11th December).
Please we are all smart people and we should rub minds to decipher the internal working methodologies of CIC. They will not like to reveal information and the information they provide sometimes seems ambiguous.
Please note this is just my personal views and does not reflect the working of CIC. Forgive me if I hurt anyone but I hope it lifts up someone's spirit.
If the above does not work out. EE will be waiting to embrace those that don't make it. You will get your PR with EE before some FSW 2014 applicant. All the best......
