That would assume CIC granted 15,000 CEC applications PR status in 2014.

Thx

And we can only speculate since there is no published number for this until by next year (specifically next summer).

I agree. Besides, even if you assume that targets have been reached, they will simply resume providing visas for the rest of this year's approved applicants against the new targets.

There will be more applicants under CEC since required experience is only 1 year since 2013, previously required exp was 2 years.

Well I dont think so In NOV 2013 - Cap was 12000 only few thousand applications were received , and in may when its was set to 8000 till now its close to 3k . Guys please avoid blind speculations and any avoid spreading rumours . No body knows about this quota thing neither CIC confirmed anything on its site. Sit tight and believe in God , May all what they are looking for should get it ASAP.

Fine, Think this way--

Till Dec- 2012 Required Canadian was 2 years
SInce Jan 2013 CEC reduced it to 1 year

So total qualified to apply undr CEC in year 2013 increased drasticaly as compared to year 2012 that might have caused the quota to get full.

All these are speculation but this make some sense.

Take note that the applications received this year (esp from the May 2014 cap) will have visas issued for these counting against the 2015 targets since it takes ~13 months to process.

I guess CIC is busy with study permit for international students in summer so other kinds of applications might be delayed. And furthermore, different visa offices may have different timelines. Ottawa may be the fastest one. Since my visa office is in Beijing, I have not received MR and any other requests till now. :(

Good luck, everyone!

Did anyone notice any signs of people back to work at CIC? Heard from someone in Toronto that CIC laid off many officers recently, not sure how true this is, did anyone else hear something like this?
