There is capped limit of 1000 people per category but still after passage of 6 months very few pople have applied for following categories

811 Primary Production Managers (except Agriculture) 77
3215 Medical Radiation Technologists 28
3222 Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists 12
3233 Licensed Practical Nurses 76
4151 Psychologists 88
6241 Chefs 67
7215 Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades 65
7241 Electricians (except Industrial and Power System) 91
7242 Industrial Electricians 105
7251 Plumbers 28
7265 Welders and Related Machine Operators 32
7312 Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics 28
7371 Crane Operators 2
7372 Drillers and Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying and Construction 9
8222 Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service 46

It clearly showing that people are feeling difficulties in applying for immigration,therefore Canadians authorities should make changes and relaxations in their immigration process,at present it is simply impossible for a person to apply for immigration who is not having any relative in Canada.
Even a person having Master Degree,IELTS 7.0 SCORE,Experience of 20 years, even then he will need score 0f 5 points due to his relative for compliance of 67 marks.

I am not an expert on evaluation of immigration system of a country, however, I have different picture on the issue you claimed that if somebody has no relative, there might be difficult to be eligible to apply as a FSW. Well when I explored the statistics of accepted PRs under FSW scheme from 1985 to 2009, was wondering all/many of these granted PRs have relatives in Canada? Without kin, I reckon someone who achieves high points in 5 selection criteria even if zero point for adaptability; the total points could still mount up to reach 67.

if interested, please go to explore!
