This is not applicable to the quota issue which we were talking about, it is related to the new rules after 26 June 2010.
For example, if NY office is allowed to issue 50 PR visa during the year of 2010, that is it, they cannot issue more until the year after regardless the NOC or the application type whether it is PN, SW, CEC, Refugee, family class,.....etc. When they finish the 50 visas, they are done for the year, and will hold on the other applications under processing until the year after to issue them the visas.
The new rules after 26 June 2010 are only talking about the
FSW applications, the Cap means, that the CIO,
not the visa office will count the number of applicants for each NOC from the list to reach only 1000 per NOC, and when they reach the maximum which is 1000, they will stop accepting applications under that NOC.
For applications received already after reaching the quota, they will send a letter to the applicant advising him to try again next year if he wishes because the CAP for this NOC for this year was fulfilled, and confirming that the processing fees will be refunded.
The quota issue is not new, it is the fact that immigration canada allows and issues a certain number of visas each year because they want to control the number of new immigrants each year "so it is not a random process", and allocate the visas between the visa offices based on the size of each visa office, and other calculations they make in that regard.
people get confused between the new rules after june 26, 2010. "Cap", and the annual targeted qouta for each year.
Anyway, thanks for the information and link, which is interesting to show how many applications were received for each NOC under the new rules.
Keep it up.
. Congrats...
