A gentleman under "September 2013 Applications' with Name "Vishal007" on Page 448 is commenting as below

Guys...I have a news..not a good one though...the quota for this year is already over and now they CIC will drag the process to next year. I am also sailing in the same boat and seems the boat will take 4+ months to reach the bank :-(

What does it mean ? Is there something Quota apart from Caps already? Is it some sort of hoax or is there any truth in above statement ?

Please share views .

Total applications received towards the overall cap: 2,486 / 8,000

This was last updated on August 18. I highly doubt that quota is full.

That I know my friend , He is saying Quota , nothing about cap , He posted his comment today "http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/september-2013-applications-t156457.6705.html"

I went suspicious coz of slowing down of CIC with no RPRF and PPR requests recently .

Agree with Hondafan13,
In-fact I already asked Vishal007 , source of information waiting for his reply

 

[Gurindar]

with CIC i wont be surprised. i remember someone posted this time last year about cap for CEC. folks were yelling at him that there are no quota for CEC alas first week of NOV we saw CIC introducing caps. Let just hope this is not true.

There is a target for the CEC, around 15,000 for 2014, but this is not a hard number.

Limit on the number of CEC applications to be processed

A maximum of 8,000 new, complete CEC applications will be considered for processing for the period of May 1, 2014, until April 30, 2015, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction.

Within the overall 8,000 cap, a maximum of 200 complete CEC applications for each eligible occupation in Skill Level B as per the 2011 version of the NOC will be considered for processing. Work experience in the following six ineligible occupations cannot be used to qualify for processing:

Unit Group 1221, administrative officers;
Unit Group 1241, administrative assistants;
Unit Group 1311, accounting technicians and bookkeepers;
Unit Group 6211, retail sales supervisors;
Unit Group 6311, food service supervisors; and
Unit Group 6322, cooks.
There is no sub-cap on CEC applications for occupations in NOC Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A, but these occupations are subject to the overall cap of 8,000 new, complete applications.

@Gurindar:
I haven't found a site where this is reported in "real time." What we have are annual reports/stats.

Here's a comment - the subject line should describe what the thread is about.

The cap has not been filled, neither has any of the sub-caps, and from what I can tell there's been no announcement. So it's up to that guy to substantiate his claim, otherwise I would not worry about it.

Here's my understanding:
Cap: # of applications they will accept

Target: the number of visas that CIC will issue; this is presented annually to estimate budgets/FTEs. I don't think this is a hard number though, or even something that they consider as a 'quota', since it is only an estimate.

CIC initial cap for 12000 started from Nov-08-2013 later they added few more, How come somebody says that it is filled even though CIC havn't yet completed ( given PR) the applications submitted in Jan/feb-2014, on top of all this CIC is still accepting applications, is there any other way CIC can fill the cap??
Seniors/ experts pls share your knowledge.

No there is no way. CIC updates CAP based on AOR issued not on application received numbers. Its just a rumor no need to panic.

They have not yet even issued 1/10 of the PRs that they projected in cap.
