News Release – Government of Canada announces increased settlement funding for Albertasemi said:
Calgary, November 25, 2011 — Michelle Rempel, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment, on behalf of Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, today announced allocations for settlement funding for Alberta for the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
“The Government of Canada wants newcomers to integrate into Canada. That is why we have tripled settlement funding since 2005-06,” said Parliamentary Secretary Rempel. “We are committed to ensuring the distribution of settlement funding is fair and that immigrants receive the same level of service, regardless of where they choose to settle.”
The allocation for settlement services in Alberta will be $75M for the 2012-13 fiscal year, an increase of $10.9M from this current fiscal year.
Settlement funding is also being more fairly distributed, to serve the needs of newcomers, as a result of a national settlement funding formula that is based on a province or territory’s share of immigrant intake. This formula now applies in all provinces and territories except Quebec.
The funding formula was also updated recently to reflect the use of settlement services by refugees and will increase the amount allocated to provinces and territories, based on their intake of refugees.
“We believe it is only fair that settlement allocations across Canada should be based on the share of newcomers that provinces and territories have,” noted Parliamentary Secretary Rempel.
The priority for the 2012-13 allocations is to focus on delivering services directly to immigrants and away from supporting expenses such as administration, travel or capital costs for organizations. The total 2012-13 amount for all provinces and territories outside Quebec is $576.8M, compared to $184.7M in 2005-06.

I'm just curious, What's the relation of Arranged Employment in your question???
Arranged employment Points
If you are currently working in Canada on a work permit and
* Your work permit is valid when you apply for a permanent resident visa and;
* Your employer has made an offer to give you a permanent job if your application is successful.
Note: Your work permit must be valid at the time your permanent resident visa is issued.

I know about Arranged Employment and I know what it means. What I'm asking and curious about is what is the relation of Arranged Employment with your question: "According to new rules after july 2011 plz tell me is it necessary to write NOC when we courier the application ..."semi said:
Your question is about writing NOC in your application sending it via courier, am I right? Then how come Arranged Employment was put into the picture? Or in layman's term, your original question is not about arranged employment. Hope my point is clear.
Maybe he completely misinterpreted the question.semi said:
But to return to your question: In my application, I included my NOC number in the address to CIC written in my envelope package. I feel it will do no harm but will be advantageous in my opinion.
