New Rules not later than 21 December 2008?

Re: New Rules in October 2008? or NOT

Its Ok and agree with link provided by GhiasKhan, I got impression that if someone's profession does not come in 38 listed occupation, then, the best option for candidate is to apply for Provincial Nomination. For applying PN, candidate need Job Offer letter and then it depends on Employer for our Citizenship. For me it seems to be little bit complicated compare to Federal one.
 
Reality is that nobody knows 100% what the new rules will be until they come out. For example the proposed rules for CEC applications was that the person had to still be in Canada but at the last moment before they published the rules for it, they changed it so that you can have left Canada already and can have been gone for up to one year and still can apply.

Right now we only have some proposed changes for the skilled worker program on the CIC website. If you were to look at that, you might think that some occupations will be fast forwarded but other people can still apply. Then we have snippets of rumours coming from meetings that the immigration minister had with other people saying that people not from the chosen occupations need not apply and even going as far as saying that the people from the chosen occupations might even need an AEO to apply so really nobody can say for sure what the new rules will be until they are posted. At this stage, it's all speculation.

Well yes we should not give so much attentions to such speculations but one thing more to ask from you that when the list of such 38 occupations are going to be announced? As the elections has now been completed there with the victory of ruling party.

I know no body knows the exact time frame of it but only guess of you.

Thanks.
 
I would have thought November but since we have a new minister who will have to take in a lot of information to take over this post, maybe not until December. Sometime between 3 and 6 weeks from now is my guess.
 
I think that all those candidates whose occupation is not in coming specified list, their applications will not be returned, but will be asked for to wait for 6-8 months, as demand of occupation change from time to time.
 
From my reading I found that the list of 38 occupation are most closed to the following (Financial, Medical, and IT sectors)

The following are occupations under financial sector

Financial Auditors and Accountants
Financial and Investment Analysts
Securities Agents, Investment Dealers and Brokers
Bookkeepers
Loan Officers
Insurance Adjusters and Claims Examiners
Insurance Underwriters

The following are occupations under medical sector

General Practitioners and Family Physicians
Dentists
Veterinarians

there are over 45 occupations in your list - it doesn't do any good to speculate at this point. so you think Dentists will be in the list. so what, you'll run to the nearest university and get a dentistry degree, work a few years and then apply? it's clear that there are only two courses of action you can choose from:

- apply now, before the new rules are into effect, and hope that the new rules are effective only for people who sent in their applications after they were disclosed;

- wait for the new rules, and if you qualify under them, apply;

other than that, you're basically torturing yourself for no good ;-)
 
But all the news said that the new regulations effect all the application from 27/Feb 2008

I know my list is from 45 occupation and I said it will be close from this , and I did not say that it is accurate.

Completely wrong. It was indeed mentioned by former Immigration Minister that these sectors suffer from the most obvious lab-force shortage. However you can't expect more than 5-10 occupations in each category. Moreover I'm absolutely sure there will be at least 3 more sections - Food, Construction and Oil Industry - as they were mentioned as examples in "Renewing Immigration: Towards a Convergence and Consolidation of Canada’s Immigration Policies and Systems" on Oct 29
