................Your FSW application has been terminated by operation of law if:
you applied before February 27, 2008, and
a decision based on FSW program selection criteria* was not made on your application by an immigration officer before March 29, 2012.
(*A “FSW program selection criteria” decision means that a CIC officer has determined that you have accumulated enough points to qualify for the program, based on factors such as your language skills, education and work experience.)

Wanted to share one info I came across. I was going thru the thread of 2013 FSWC wannabe applicants. Some of them have written that next year, every visa office will also have application quota. In MI-2 and MI-3 more than 50% of applications have gone from India and Pakistan and since there is first come first serve basis, people from other countries could not get thru because of the application CAP.
In order to have an even distribution, within the overall cap of applications, every VISA office will also have a cap. Does anyone else out here have any idea about the same?
If that happens, we shall have the advantage. It is because of large number of pending applications from MI-2 and MI-3 from NDVO that we are at a loss right now
in future there will be same quota for each visa office, just to make even balance in different nationality.
besides, CIC targets more immigrants from ireland than from india and pakistan in coming years, a recent visit of jason kenny to irelnad tells more.
Finally I feel I should get out of the dream world and understand the reality of this futile exercise of waiting and waiting. I got into the process assuming a wait of max one year (against a promised 6-8 months). I WAS WAY OFF MARK.
I need to drop this path and move ahead in life to some other fulfilling path.
