here is what i think, we are all aware that the rules applying to FSW this year is somewhat different to what applied in previous years so there are bound to be differences in when fees are cashed more so the processing time .
It is only reasonable to feel that CIC will check for completeness and errors on all forms and from there generate the Caps. I'm only saying what i think and stand to be corrected.
Again i want to believe CIC will do more this year than just checking the forms and cashing the fees, they might go as far as confirming the authenticity of the ECA and making sure claims of work experience tally with intended NOC so as to arrive at the specified Caps for each NOC to be processed, this process leaves the CHC with specific points calculation, background checks and random checks on the entire application. Again it's just my opinion and not quoting any source.
happy waiting
