If number of applications showing CIC website is consists of only those applications which have received PER (or their pre eligibility review have completed ) then why 500 applicants of NOC 1122 had not received PER till 20 of August because CIC announced cap of 1122 on 20 of August. On the other hand no body of 1122 received PER in August.
The CAP is not PER applicants. They are the one's who have submitted complete Application, with IELTS, Fee etc.
They will be processed at a later date, then PER or NER is issued, no relationship with CAP.....Hence the time and wait.
