I've been reading and reading the posts and there's still one thing I can't seem to understand.
CIC cap website base the numbers on that table on what?
[size=10pt]What table?[/size]
The website states that the numbers reflect complete applications received since may 1st 2014.
But by complete they mean what?
People who have had their fee charged? Received PER?
Can a complete application still be refused?
[size=10pt]Complete applications could mean either ones whose fees have been charged after completeness check or those with PERs, it is not completely clear. Applications can be refused at any stage until the visa is actually stamped in the passport. But the chances of rejection are greatest at the completeness check stage. At every other subsequent stage, the chances go down.[/size]
This question of mine might sound a bit silly but I can't seem to figure it out for sure.
Also, how accurate is that? There's even a note, by the bottom of the page that says it's an estimate.
[size=10pt]The cap update provided in CIC's website is an estimate and a huge underestimate if you consider that they don't reflect the number of applications they have received to-date. Since their numbers are for applications received a few months in the past and does not account for applications they have received but not yet done completeness check.[/size]
Not sure if my reading comprehension is faulty but, to me, the info there is a bit vague, even misleading.
Will any of you experts out there enlighten me?
