Total complete FSW applications received since June 26, 2010 | 2,988 of 20,000 as of October 29, 2010

I keep on reminding you that only a maximum of 20,000 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications will be considered for processing between June 26, 2010, and June 30, 2011. And that within the 20,000 cap, a maximum of 1,000 Federal Skilled Worker applications per eligible occupation will be considered for processing within this same period.

Because of that, one of the common question I receive from applicants is that how would they know that their occupation is not yet closed. That is there some sort of online reference being updated daily. My answer was of course was there's none. We would only if the cap or quota is already filled only when Centralized Intake Office released a statement.

They have just did. As of October 29, 2010, a total of 2,988 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications (without Arranged Employment) was received by CIO. Below is the breakdown:
