Hello everyone!
Interesting thread. I'm not sure how to feel about this new system... I will only have the one year experience in my occupation (NOC 2221) by January 16, so I coudn't apply in 2014 programs. I can't decide to rush or not, in getting ECA and IELTS... Since we don't know how the points will be awarded, it seems it could be a waste of money if later we realize, we don't have the minimum points required. Of course, there's always risk! If there are no caps, then I wonder, when will they start assessing applications... For example, the pool will definitely grow bigger by let's say March, they will have more to choose from than in January.
