Hi,

Can you please tell me is there any possibility that we would be able to know before sending the application of federal skilled worker visa the count of CAP. I mean can we know how many applications have Canada till now received the applications? If we know ahead we can stop sending the applicant this year and send it the coming year. OR will CIC make it an announcement after they are filled with applications according to the CAP system?

Please answer it with priority.

Thank you. Your timely help would be of great help..

at this point we dont know if they will announce or not. As of now, the only way to know is if someone has been rejected due to cap and they mention it here. Remember, they haven't started processing any post-jun 2010 application yet so even if the cap has been reached, not even CIC knows of it yet.

Currently there is no system available that tell the number of current application received by CIO

Only way is to send the docs and wait for CHC reply.

As for announcement wer will have to wait and watch

That's correct. As I understand it, an application will count towards the cap when it gets send for processing to Visa Office.

This means that some NOCs may already be full and not even CIC knows it - so some people may be going through the large expense of applying (notarizing documents, getting IELTS tests etc) when they already have no chance of approval.

I think owing to the expenses involved in applying CIC should have focussed on at least deciding if an application was processing-worthy and advertised the NOC cap rather than just sit on post-June 26 applications for 2 months, could be very frustrating and expensive for some people.
