IF your occupation is not included on the list, this doesn't mean that you will no longer have the chance to live and work in Canada. There are alternative application process. It is also not prudent to wait first for the list of priorities before filing your application. Always remember these two things: Immigration Quota and First-in-First-out policy.

First-in-First-out policy - NOT after 27feb '08
Ok, let's say Nurses are included on the list of priorities. I'm a nurse and I filed my application today. And then you filed your application a year after as a nurse, too. Are you saying that first-in-first-out policy will not apply in our case? I beg to differ. The immigration Minister's power is just to identify which occupations will be prioritized, not based on individual profile methinks.
It is in that context that I mentioned first-in-first-out policy.
Thanks for sharing your thought.
immigration Minister's power is just to identify which occupations will be prioritized,but only for application submited after feb '08
http://www.cic.gc.ca <-- here is all
No question on the date of implementation. but those who filed after feb 08 with similar occupations (like my example above) will be processed in the order in which they are received.
what about for those who applied prior to feb-08, if their occupation is included in the priority list.. is there any chance that their application be expedite?
There is no official instructions yet as to how applications filed prior to Feb 27, 2008 shall be dealt with. My guess is a First-in-First-out system may be used. Assuming all other factors equal, it isn't logical to process first an application of a nurse who filed just recently than a nurse who filed 3 years ago.
Im a RN, and filed my PR under skilled worker on Dec 2006 i received a letter from the embassy urging me to widraw my application in 90 days and reapply afterwards,or else it will process according to the policy exist. is there a chance that my papers will be process according to the new policy applied if ever i widraw my PR applicationsand reapply?
yes, there is a great chance you will get a faster result if you will withdraw your Dec 2006 application and refile.
My suggestion is send a letter withdrawing yoru application but you dont have to wait until tyou receive your refund before sending your application to Nova Scotia for assessment.
Good luck!
