my frend needs your help

If he has done those duties and can change the decision of the visa office by supplying more docs he can try to request visa office to reopen his case but its upto the visa office and chances are that they wil notopen bcoz its a job dutied not something like points where they have made a mistake.

i think first stage of major backlog of MI 1 applications of Pakistani applicants is almost over. (review of applications)

as 90% of pakistani applicants fall in few highlighted occupations mentioned in 38 profession list.

so i think target of review application will be achieved before Jun 2012 may be in mid of May 2012.

0111: Financial Managers   (almost Processed review stage)
1111: Financial Auditors and Accountants (almost Processed review stage)
3111: Specialist Physicians (almost Processed review stage)
4121: University Professors (almost Processed review stage)
4131: College and Other Vocational Instructors (almost Processed review stage)
0213: Computer and Information Systems Managers (under processing now a days)
0631: Restaurant and Food Service Managers (under processing now a days)
3112: General Practitioners and Family Physicians (under processing now a days)
3142: Physiotherapists
7241: Electricians (Except Industrial and Power System)
7242: Industrial Electricians  (under processing now a days)

0311: Managers in Health Care
0632: Accommodation Service Managers

7215: Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades
7217: Contractors and Supervisors, Heavy Construction Equipment Crews
7251: Plumbers
7252: Steamfitters, Pipe fitters and Sprinkler System Installers
7265: Welders and Related Machine Operators
7312: Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics
7371: Crane Operators
7372: Drillers and Blasters  Surface Mining, Quarrying and Construction
8221: Supervisors, Mining and Quarrying
8222: Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service
9212: Supervisors, Petroleum, Gas and Chemical Processing and Utilities

its my personal observations on the bases of data available on different forums you can find only above highlighted NOCs on details of hundreds forum members.

only very few applicants belongs to other NOCs.

and you can also observe NOCs 0111, 1111, 4131 etc got processing date line or any other update in previous 2 months and now a days 0213 and some other NOCs are getting updates from last 1 month and it will also be over in next 10 to 15 days.

then what left for them will be very few applications regarding other NOCs so they will complete the target in mid of May 2012

BREAKING NEWS
 
The Government of Canada announced on 29 March 2012 a plan to reduce the backlog of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications by returning all applications and government fees submitted prior to 27 February 2008. This will amount to a total of almost 300,000 returned applications, as well as approximately $130 million in refunded government processing fees.
Approximately 160,000 FSW applications, submitted after 28 February 2008, will remain in queue for processing.
The Announcement
This statement has been issued as part of the larger Federal Budget for 2012, which was released on 29 March. The budget includes information for reducing national deficit and creating more fiscally efficient government infrastructure, an integral part of which is tied to immigration policy and processing times. As part of this plan, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), is expected to reduce its operating costs by $179 million over the next three years.
The budget mentions that “Canada risks losing the global talent competition for the world's best and brightest as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems rather than remain in the queue to have their applications process in Canada”.
With this in mind, the decision was reached to not only return the approximately 300,000 applications, but to focus on creating a system that would streamline processing and “reduce duplication and overlap” in the overall structure.
Government Rationale
The applications being returned are currently only from the FSW program. No additional plans have yet been announced to address backlogs in other immigration categories.
CIC hopes that reducing application numbers will allow it to streamline its programs in a way that will eliminate overhead costs currently incurred by dealing with the backlog. For instance, some visa offices devote significant amounts of time and money to processing pre-2008 applications. With these out of the way, visa officers will be free to devote time and energy to processing applications that have a higher likelihood of approval under current government standards.
The decision is also part of a larger effort by CIC to “transition to a faster and more flexible economic immigration system”. This new system will be aimed at more accurately addressing Canadian labour market needs as well as better serving those applicants still in line to be processed. Currently, Canada is facing severe labour shortages, specifically in Western provinces where skilled tradespeople are in great demand.
It is important to note that, despite widespread austerity measures being imposed on most government departments, CIC is one of only five that are being asked to reduce operating costs by less than six percent. In fact, proposed upgrades to the Canadian immigration system are likely to cost over $25 million in upcoming years.
Advice for Returned Applicants
The promise of new, streamlined immigration systems is no comfort for the thousands of individuals and their families who have now seen their hopes for Canadian immigration come to an end.
“This is such awful news for the people who have been waiting patiently in line,” says Attorney David Cohen, “Of course, they are free to submit a new application, but that will be of little solace at this time. I truly feel badly for them”.
Applicants who will see their files returned but are still keen to come to Canada are by no means excluded from re-submitting an application, either through the FSW program or one of the over 60 other available Canadian immigration programs. As the government more thoroughly outlines its plans for immigration in the future, prospective applicants should make sure to keep abreast of new developments that may be of benefit to themselves and their unique skill sets.

Is there any lucky one who got refusal due to JD mismatch and succeeded in the appeal??
