This is a respite for lot of applicants. One year was quite a short time. One can not loose touch with english language in just one year.

Hi Afr:

I applied under two occupations. I just heard that I can only obtain points from one occupation.
If this is true then I would only have 64 points.
That is why I am so worry about this.
Please advise
thank you
