Dear joyraj18,
Well, complete application received shown on CIC website are those applications which were opened, found complete, fee charged, eligibility of the applicant has been established and finally applicant has received Positive Eligibility email from CIO. These numbers obviously don't show the actual number of applications received at CIO.
Many applicants have confusion that if CIO updates number of complete applications on a certain date then it means that applications received before or on that date may have the chance to fall in the CAP but this is not the case at all. Rate of opening and assessing the applications at CIO is much lower than the rate of receiving the applications. The recent update was done on 29th November but from this forum we have an idea they are opening and processing the applications received on 3rd and 4th week of September. It means that they are almost 2 months behind.
In my case, my credit card was charged on November 13th while CIC updated on November 12th that 2132 is FULL. It means that I am one of the very last applicant who fell in the CAP. My application was received on August 7th. We didn't get any information on this forum from any 2132 applicant whose application was received after August 7th that he got the PER email, therefore it is most probable that all 2132 applicants whose applications received after August 7th are out the CAP. Since your application reached at CIO on October 26th, therefore you are clearly out of the CAP and your application will be returned to you.
For further understanding, you can review following spreadsheet which is developed and maintained by this forum's administrators:

Hii Abuhassan,
One of your posts suggests that cap for 2132 for mechanical engineers have reached 300 in early August. I think you are referring to some tracking sheet. Could you please let me know from where did you receive the information.
As per my agent, my application has reached the sydney office in canada on 26th October. The website on 28th Oct showed the applications received for 2132 till date was 271. Just want to know if there is any possibility that they might have considered my application before the cap reached 300 ( very next week update the cap was reached).
When should i expect a reply from my agent or from the canadian office about my application status. I sent them DD for payment.
