I am still awaiting my bank certification letter to arrive, probably in 2 weeks. However, several people informed me that unless I am able to send my application within the first 2 or 3 days (i.e. no later than 4 May), there is no point of applying as I am not going to make it within the NOC 2132 quota. Better to wait until the new system next year. What does every one think about this? I applied as NOC 2132 last year and did not make it either, the new quota on 1 May announcement came at my surprise and I need new bank statement which will take another 2 weeks. Any suggestions?
