From after 26/06 forum:
Briefly, CIC receive almost 13000 applications.
I think all stuff in CIC is trying to fill 20000 CAP as soon as possible.
After that they announce, that CAP is filled, and no more applications are received.
Then they start(CONTINUE) processing May, June applicants, and after that July, August, September.
I think the CAP will be filled in 2-4 weeks. So we should wait just a little.
Good luck to all. I wish you all happiness
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/applications-after-266-in-any-noc-connect-here-to-get-the-status-t49421.0.html;msg424904#msg424904Before I filed my application, my three cousins filed their applications but unfortunately all these applications came back due to the same reason that they didn't provided their I-94s and U.S. visa copies (Buffalo modified its checklist after they submitted their application). When their application came back, there were two prominent things on the application.
1. Red number on the right corner which is definitely a sequential number, at that time for my first cousin it was 7661, for second it was 7673. For my third cousin it was 7774. Please note that they sent their applications almost one week apart from each other.
2. On the left corner there is an NOC code and number in green color below that. This number is in hundreds, so I am 100% sure it has something to do with 1000 cap. My two cousins applied under 1122 and one under some other, I don't remember the code. At that time 1122 was in its 200s.
3. Same thing was mentioned on my application. The right number was 13,455 and left was 746.
I hope It will clarify some of the doubts.
