@ nskatcv
Actually, you are missing many key facts, some of which are
1. This info was released on 6th June (It reflect tiny fraction of overall cap, but what about individual NOC, 2-3 NOC are around 4% full, you may still consider it a tiny fraction, but most of the new CC charges are related to these NOCs so exponential increase is expected in next update).
2. No one knows, the cut off date. (worst scenario, it only includes some of the 1st May apps, whereby 1st May applicant with complete app but pending DD encashment might be excluded. Such DD payments will certainly be transferred to CIC)
3. No one knows the criteria for including an app in the count (PER or CC/DD encashment; if it includes PER, which is issued after at least 7 days of CC/DD encashment, many of the complete/accepted application are not included in the count but most certainly they will count towards overall cap and result in exponential rise in the count)
4. [MOST IMPORTANT] Yes, most of the applicants are not sure if their application is "complete", don't forget many applicant's are missing one thing or other and have covered it through acceptable alternate/affidavits. Now, if that is accepted by the reviewer, no one knows.

Total applications received towards the overall cap : 157 of 25,000
Above is the current status at CIC, which is obviously a tiny fraction. Then why the hysteria about CC/DD (Credit Card/Demand Draft) charge ? (no pun intended)
Is it just because the applicants are unsure of their application being complete (and hence fear of no CC/DD charge), or that this cap is going to fill at a exponential rate (and hence the hurry) ?
Or that I am completely missing something here.
PS: The following note at the same CIC page saying
Note: Due to the large number of applications we get, we cannot check that each one is complete on the same day it gets to the office. The numbers on this page are updated at least once a week, but are only a guide. There is no guarantee that an application sent in now will fall within the cap by the time it gets to the Centralized Intake Office.
does suggest though that it might be the case of exponential rate, or a pseudo-exponential because of CIC having a big back-log until they started looking at these applications.
