I would like to know how many FSW applications were received and what has been the approval rate in 2008 and in 20009 so far. Thanks

2008, i think there is statistics on canada website.
2009, not sure. there is some who have been approved on trackitt.com

I checked out trackiit.com. It seems like only a handful of cases have received final approval. That's kind of discouraging. There were less than 100 cases approved in 2008. Am I missing here something? Does this website tracks only those applicants who have notified them? since I see username for all cases. By the number of posts I see on this discussion board, I assumed there would be thousands of applicants each month. I couldn't find any stats on the official CIC site.

Theres 1000s of applicants who are given PR every year. I think there is statistics on the cic website.
Trackitt only gives the information for those who sign up on trackitt.
