Yes ooooo!Take a look at it;
Applications we will accept – Federal skilled workers
As of May 4, 2013, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will only consider federal skilled worker (FSW) applications from people who have:
at least one year of continuous and paid (full-time or an equal amount in part-time) work experience in a single occupation,
within the last 10 years,
at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), and who are:
1. in one of the 24 eligible occupations,
and whose application is received under the occupation’s sub-cap and overall FSW cap, or
2. with a valid offer of arranged employment, or
3. who are applying under the PhD stream (see below) until the PhD cap of 1,000 applications is reached.
All applicants must also:
meet the minimum language threshold (and submit approved language test results), and
submit a Canadian educational credential or foreign credential and an assessment of their foreign education from an approved agency, and
meet all requirements of the FSW Program.
Applications per eligible occupation:
Between May 4, 2013, and April 30, 2014, we will consider no more than 5,000 complete FSW applications for processing. Within the 5,000 cap, we will consider no more than 300 applications per eligible occupation for processing within this same time frame.
The cap year began on May 4, 2013, and will end on April 30, 2014, unless otherwise stated by the Minister.
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.
Total received toward the overall cap: 885 of 5,000

Honestly the rate at which some of the caps are getting filled is alarming! I am sure CIC have only treated the files of applicants whose applications were received in the Month of May.
With the trend of things now,it is very possible that applications not received in the month of July may not make the cap.
Lord help us

Thanks floxy for sharing this•Have you heard from accra•Please is your work experience thesame as your area of occupation•
Accra visa office is a west africa processing center for 12 countries and I believe they already know those that will get PR or not and those they are yet to issue out•Those of us for 2013 will get our PR before end of next year all things been equal•The backlog is expected to have been cleared by the end of 2014•
Going through canada immigration and citizenship website,i just observed that the average processing time for 80% of complete application received by accra office as at July 2013 is 27 months.That is a long time.The beauty of it is that it keeps flunctuating.I remember it use to be 13 months,later 20 months.Now 27 months!God help us to begin to witness decline yet again.Remember,they are processing for 12 west african countries.
