1) Need views on why there is so poor response to New Most Current 29 occupation fast track. Even though there is a cap only a very few NOC are nearing the Cap limit. Although 20,000 quota is reserved the applications are still not near 5,000 mark and going by this trend applications will not exceed 10,000 when the cap limit valid till 26 June 2011 arrives.

2) Second query is what will happen to the remaining 10,000 quota which will be unused considering that the limit of 20,000 will not be reached until end 26 June 2011. Who will benefit from the unused quota? Please share your views.

3) Does any one have an idea what will happen to the NOC in the previous 39 fast track category which did not find mention in new most current 29 category list? As those NOC are no more in demand in Canadian labour market will they still be processed before the backlog of pre-feb 2008 cases or after. Please share your views.

The only reason i think is that now applicants have to submit all docs to visa office and that takes time, secondly they have removed most of the NOC from the last list and the ones they have just added not many people are aware that they do qualify now as you can see some NOC have received less than 100 applications so far.


2) Second query is what will happen to the remaining 10,000 quota which will be unused considering that the limit of 20,000 will not be reached until end 26 June 2011. Who will benefit from the unused quota? Please share your views.

They will not carry the remaining quota to the next year, it will start again from 0 and maxium upto 20,000.


3) Does any one have an idea what will happen to the NOC in the previous 39 fast track category which did not find mention in new most current 29 category list?

Those who have already applied under the old NOC there application will still be processed no matter if there NOC is still in the list or not.

2) the rule now is that the extra places will not be carried forward but perhaps seeing that most of the 20000 may not be filled by Jun next year, CIC may decide to increase the total number of places for FSW1 next year. I said may, not will. Who knows, it is their perogative to change the rules. However, given the current rules, it will remain at 20000 next year.

3) People from the previous list, no matter the NOC, are being processed. I was one of them.
