They are smart foxes. They could have said nothing and all those that apply now in theory will get they certificate in 2015 (or within 90 days so no problem there). The real victims are those who applied over the last couple of month and this is a smokescreen aimed at clouding their vision (3 months + whenever the quota was reached)...sorry
taurus1985 said:We just reached our quota of 2500. In most years we get some more positions allocated from CIC, so we are likely to nominate more people. Also, we don't stop processing though we have met the quota – we still have an inventory of applications and they will continue to be reviewed so that, whether it be through new allocations this year or starting from zero on January 1st, we will be able to quickly nominate approvable applicants. Please advise students that they are still welcome to apply and that, given our usual 3-4 months processing time, they will not notice much of a lag time because, as I said, we will continue to work on them and then nominate early in 2015 at the latest.
