The time I saw CIC displaying the quota status for 2281, they received about :-
->493 completed applications - which means 493 received PR +ve decision
->295 pending complete applications - reviewed to be complete w.r.t. documentation & yet to receive a PER.
-> There was an asterisk & when I scrolled down to see that 1000 applications had been received in this NOC 2281.
This was around last week of Dec-2014.
One more thing I wanted to let you know that silence from CIC for anything above 2 months means you're IN. I've watched applications getting returned within one month of acknowledgement from CIC. Not sure if there are any post 2 months & getting returned.
Regd. 2281 - I am sure if your application has reached CIO within Dec 10th,2014 - you're almost IN.
If there is anybody from 2281 getting charged (CC) on Dec 1st, 2014 - then all complete applications(2281) reaching before that date are ready to go off the desks anytime. Applications with Credit cards obviously get charged earlier than DD's/ and there is nothing to worry about not getting a +ve status so far for Intl. DD's. Applications are based on First IN First OUT & not otherwise.
