hello dr.sukhleen,dr.sukhleen said:i am a dentist and currently stuck on 66 points.As updated on 5 April,2011,763 application are received by CIC.I am sitting in IELTS test on 7th of may and hope to submit my application till the first week of June.If Quota of 1000 got filled by then, can i apply in dental Hygiene just to get PR.please suggest me.
with regards
CIO's "Total application.." has been updated & as on 19th april 2011, total application received under NOC 3113-Dentist is 826.
CIO is currently getting 4-5 applications under NOC 3113 & if this rate continues then our NOC-3113 will reach it's cap limit within 1st week of June.
As per my understanding, you will get your IELTS result on 20th may, so if you can send your application package(use express courier service) to CIO on 21st may & it reaches there within 26th May then you might make within the cap.

Complication you might face if you apply as Dental hygienist/therapist:
Since you are a Dentist, CIO might not satisfy if you claim your position is “Dental therapist/hygienist” instead of “Dentist”
These might delay your processing & require you to undergo “Interview”
It's solution:
You should apply under 2 NOC: 3113 & 3222
You can claim that you actual position is “Dentist” but you also perform all the duties of either Dental hygienist or Dental therapist.
