This year the cap got closed in 5 working days.. between 4th to 8th july..If this is going to be the case then how do you send applications from places like India from where the courier on an average takes 5 or more days to deliver.. Really there is no level playing field in this first come first serve basis..

I know of certain people who applied from the middle east and sent their packages on June 25th. Certainly people in Asia are at a disadvantage when compared to those applying from the US. However, as I mentioned earlier, no system is ever perfect. I think it is arbitrary too. But I find it atleast more encouraging than the American lottery system.

it might sound harsh but this is clearly breaching the moral rights to apply. how i am supposed to apply when u give 500 cap and that too goes full in 144 hours..
when u r not sure if this code will be around or not on 1st of july how can u apply. when u check on the night of 30th june then even u send it on 1st july from a place like india it will take week to reach cic. and many thanks to disastrous service od dhl which make sure ur application deos not touch cic in atleast 7-9 days.

As with earlier posts, I agree that the system is unfair. But I believe you can still use its flaws to your advantage. For example, this time around, the cap effectively started on July 4th becase 1st-3rd were holidays. Had you mailed your package on June 30th (for example), you'd have made the cap.
I am of the opinion that NOC 1122 is unlikely to disappear completely from the list of acceptable professions due to its generic nature. It basically encompases all business support and value added services, and the only reason Canada would want to stem the tide of workers with experience and skills in these professions is when corporations are inundated with fresh Canadian business graduates. That is not the case right now, but no one knows what the future could hold in these volatile times.
I think you have reason to be optimistic given the massive growth alberta is undergoing due to the tar sands oil projects. Even if you choose to live elsewhere, demand for skilled workers in Calgary is tempting Canadian citizens to move to Calgary, in effect creating space for foreign skilled workers to find their own niche in the canadian market.
I am not suggesting that this is a fair system, but we don't have many other options to get into Canada. Remember, in these recessionary times, Canada continues to be a rare opportunity for skilled immigrants to pursue a better life. Most other advanced economies are increasingly antagonistic towards immigrants because we put further pressure on an already strained labor market.
