Dont mean to discourage you but i think they wouls surely make it more streamlined which may include inviting applicants based on the NOC code to market mapping, so if there is a requirement of NOC in the market then those applicants would be preferred ,but this is pure speculation and not mentioned anywhere. One good thing they are planning to bring in is the online application as compared to paper based applications existing today. Hopefully they also work on increasing their quota for every year considering the fact that Ontario is the most sought after location.
In short, I would suggest you keep following the canada visa forums to see if people if people have started receiving NOI during November 2016 timeframe.
