Best of luck everyone! congrats, can you please enlightened me as to how you were able to be processed under the old cat4 when other old cat4 applicants with much older applications than yours have never been given COs. And with the latest developments, most of them were regrouped under cat5 with prospect of being processed only this program year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sc80 Posted July 16, 2011 You belong to the new Cat 5? There must be some confusion here. My occupation has always been under occupation in demand MODL/SOL throughout the changes. I was never under 'off-list' nomination or first-i-was-in-then-i-was-out-of-SOL/MODL category. For those under same circumstances as me, most already received their visa long before me. I am perhaps one of the very last ones. As I seen from threads, those lodged in beginning of 2011 with similar occupation, same priority group has their visa granted. In anycase, thanks everyone! Buz me if there is anything needs clarifying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
