Quota - Limit and exceed - advise.

[GeorgeJoseph]

Hi All - I understand that there is a predefined quota on the number of applications accepted for an year. What would be the case for the applications that were received beyond the quota ? Would they consider them for the following years or Would they return it back to the applicants or how it goes ? Also, how do we learn that the quota for an year has been reached ? Please advise . thanks a lot.

bye, Geo

Applications received after the quota has been filled will be returned unprocessed.

The number of applications received will be tracked here. But note that this table is updated once applications have been reviewed for completeness - not when they are first received. So it doesn't provide a true picture of how many applications have actually reached CIC.
