I have only started the process of gathering documents like police verification etc.Looks like, by the time I am in a shape apply, it will be around October Since,there is a limit of 1000 each year, I was wondering if October will be too late to apply for this year's quota. Kindly advice.

John Oct may be late. Best is you apply at the earliest, if not possible to apply befor oct then apply in Oct. If your app is rejected because of quota constraint send your app again at end of June so that it reaches in first week of July

Read the most up to date Guides and check out this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/do-not-send-police-certificate-to-cio-sydney-t49617.0.html It looks like they changed the requirement to include PCC with initial documents to CIO. Those applying now have been given a huge break so check it out. Good Luck.
