The only information available (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06c-eng.pdf) is that applications are been received according to time of receipt/delivery as against NOC.
The simple explanation to this is that applicants applcation packages are treated with respect to time of receipt as against NOC.
CIC are are trained to access your applications generally and not NOC specific.There are keywords that they are looking for in your application according to their guidelines and so do not need to be expert in your NOC or feild before they can access you.
This is why sometime...they make mistakes in matching duties of some candidates.
You must understand that the NOCs that you have highlighted are always active...most of them gets their applications returned in FSW2103 due to cap so they are motivated to submit early.
Other CAPS will soon pick up....most are still trying to send applications because of absence of IELTS or ECA evaluation.
It will soon pick -up.
You also understand that some NOC will not even get up to 200 before the end of the scheme....watch out for those NOC.
Cheers.
I beg to differ a little.

Note: Applications are date stamped upon receipt at the CIO and then checked for completeness in order by date of receipt. The “application received” date at the CIO is the lock-in date. Processing offices should therefore maintain the application received date from the time of the applicant’s initial submission to the CIO, and process the application to conclusion.
Note: Its the date that is locked-in not the time stamp.
Just to reassure: Any applicant from last year returned application from last year had a time stamp along with date?
This is also consistent with definition on CIC cap page. the number of applications mentioned are completed applications (first hurdle), not necessarily with cc charge or PER. They may check an application for completeness and keep it in the queue for further processing, at which stage CC charge would come.
Time to look at our data in a new way altogether, I think. :'( :'( :'(
