NEW UPDATE: Improving the Canadian Experience Class

[skm12345]

Applications received prior to Nov-9th are not affected by the new MI-10. If you get rejected and have to re-apply, then yes, you will be affected.

Exactly

From what I read, they want to attract "top quality" candidates

And this does make sense, right? At least to me, it does. Canada is an attractive country to immigrants from all over the world,
and should therefore carefully select immigrants.

Hello everyone,

I have worked in a public corporation for about 10 months (NOC 1241) and I left the company because of the department shun down. So now my 10 months experience becomes useless for CEC?

Thanks for any thought.

This new regulation makes our family feel nervous about our fate here in Canada. Me and my husband are on NOC A and both of us are working. The real concern here is how soon is the cap going to be filled. It's only 12k! We're applying on January and we don't know by then if the cap is already filled up.

Well no limit for NOC A. I don't think you guys need to worry.

Also you can check the application limit according to NOC on this website.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/applications-accepted.asp

Currently it is showing : 0 / 12,000

wait until next week. Probably some applicants have already sent their applications weeks ago, and it is just that CIC didn't received them yet.

^ iamroth Yes there is no limit. But there are so many applicants on the NOC B category too. There is a cap of 200 per NOC and there are about 205 NOCs. I did the math, and it's highly probable that it will be filled up easily. Am i right in my understanding that the 200 subcap per NOC is part of the 12k total applications along with the NOC A and 0?

Thanks

Secondly, first applied first processed is not the best way to select the best candidates.

I super agree to this! We're NOC A but not eligible to apply yet. We have to wait till next month to lodge our application. If we weren't able to complete our documents in time due to the numerous holidays next month, we would probably have everything ready by January. But by then there are surely so many applications from NOC Bs already. So i don't see the sense at all.

 

[iamelle]

^ Thanks for sharing this! This is so encouraging Good luck to all of us who haven't submitted the application yet.

wonder how they will cope with people in food trade start going back to the gulf for jobs with more benefits and closer to their homes, return ticket to home country every year , accommodation provided and meals provided..........
wonder who will fill those positions of cooks , food service supervisors , may be robots , sure as hell citizens and P.R people wont be doing it , and i tell you having been in the industry over here , i have seen the most laziest bunch of obese human on the planet , who wouldn't dare go into a kitchen even to make a toast and coffee .. bottom line we are a life line , thats why we were in the list in the first place ,,,

seems like new immigration minister will make tost in the kitchen. Bull*hi* rule

 

[kprs_ind]

A Super like!

12000 is still more than in 2012 and significantly more.

Please read

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/statistics/facts2012/permanent/02.asp

It is good to track. We can have the same for us too.

One thing to remember: The 200 limit for NOC-B is a maximum limit. There is no minimum limit.

So out of 12000 applicants, NOC-0/A can be 11500 applicants. There is no limit for NOC-0/A applicants. They can apply any number between 0 to 12000.

What I am trying to say is lets say NOC-4214 (NOC-B) limit is 200. But only 50 NOC-4214 submitted. The rest 150 spaces won't just sit and wait for more NOC-4214s. It will be used up for other NOCs. And once a total of 12000 is received, they will close session for this intake, even though only 50 NOC-4214 application got submitted.

Moral:
Send out your application at the earliest, don't wait because "Oh I can wait, cause not a lot of Air Pilots are applying, and my NOC group will never get filled up, so I can take it easy."

200 applicants seem to be very little for noc B and unfair. I was going through 2013 spreadsheets and the majority of applicants are of this noc. I know all the cec applicants are not listed here , but i think we have here a meaningful statistical sample. So puttting a cap on noc b will tremendously reduce cec applicants. We can speculate about the raisons of this decision and what not, bottom line, the application processing times should reflect these changes in the near future.

200 applicants per Noc code but not for all Noc B..make sure read carefully.

I already have my 1 year experience but have given IELTS and PCC, is it possible to file without those and add them within the next month or so?
