While browsing, i came across this website and it has listed new list effective June 26, 2010.

destcanada.com/Skilled_Worker.aspx

Interestingly it says cap of 20,000 per year and 1000 per NOC

Regards,
 
This web says that Occupation list is changes and They have removed some NOC from 38 Demand List and make it to 29 NOC list listed in below paragraph.

I think, It is true but It has very disappointed us.

Skilled Worker

The Skilled Worker Program is a points based system used to grant Permanent Resident status to applicants who are able to demonstrate an ability to become economically established in Canada. The point system is composed of six (6) factors, in which an applicant needs to score at least 67 points in order to be eligible.

NEW! Federal Skilled Worker applicants must also have at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent paid work experience in the past 10 years in one of 29 qualifying occupations; or Arranged Employment; or have legally lived in Canada for at least one year as a Temporary Foreign Worker or International Student and currently be residing in Canada.

CAP!! A maximum of 20 000 Federal Skilled Worker applications,without an offer of arranged employment, will be considered for processing each year.Within the 20 000 cap, a maximum of 1 000 Federal Skilled Worker applications per National Occupation Classification(NOC) code will be considered for processing each year.

IELTS is required before submitting the application to CIO Sydney

The selection factors may be summarized as follows:

* Education: Applicants are awarded up to 25 points.
* Language Skills: Applicants are awarded up to 24 points.
* Experience: Applicants are awarded up to 21 points.
* Age: Applicants are awarded up to 10 points.
* Arranged Employment: Applicants are awarded up to 10 points.
* Adaptability: Applicants are awarded up to 10 points.

Whatever the number of points awarded, Canadian Immigration Visa Officers always have the discretion to accept or refuse an application based on a substituted evaluation.

In addition to scoring at least 67 points and having experience in one of the 29 occupations, successful applicants must show that they have enough money to support themselves and their dependants after arrival in Canada. Applicants and their dependants must also undergo medical examinations and security clearances as part of the Canadian immigration application process.

Yea it look like official news....i checked dis site and according to them list is out today and occupation restricted to 29...

Well...looks like the list is almost up for a change....Though it seems to be an internal instruction but looks authentic.

For the unique purpose of calculating the caps, the first year will begin on June 26, 2010, and end on June 30, 2011. Subsequent years will be calculated from July 1st to June 30th, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction.


For More Clarity...refer to this PDF.... http://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2010/2010-06-26/pdf/g1-14426.pdf

Though CIC website is updated late but this looks like a notice....!But as mentioned in the document, it stands valid from today that is June, 26th 2010.

Awaiting for more view on it.
 
Yes its almost it guys its changed as of canadian gazette and i guess cic will announce it soon as well maybe on monday next week. If this was not true then it wouldnt be in the canadian gazette.

So the list is change from 26th June so anyone applying after this date needs to meet the new list and all applications received before 26th June will have no change.

Cheers
Saki
