Hi All, Does anyone have an idea on how long it might take for the NOC 2174 cap to be filled up? I am receiving my ECA tomorrow on May 11th and will be applying then it self. My application might reach there by 15th. But is it worth sending or will it be filled up by then? Any thoughts guys.....Please let me know.
Nobody can really predict accurately until CIC start publishing their results. If you look at this spreadsheet though (of forum members here who have, or are in the process of, submitting their applications), you'll see 30 applications already for 2174, and baring in mind that only a small % of the total worldwide apps will be submitting their details here on this forum.

When we ran the 2010 spreadsheet our forum members represented about 2.5% of the total apps CIC received. If this ratio is true for the 2013 intake, this would mean there'd be 1200 or so applications for 2174 either sent or imminently being sent, and the NOC cap is only 300. Although any incomplete applications received will not count towards the cap.
If I were to guess, I would say that the application needs to be received in the next week or two to have any chance of getting within the 300 cap. It may already be too late.
But, I am just guessing!
