本人2010年1月30号申请的独立技术移民,翻译专业,雅思4个7,听说移民局最近出台的visa capping program 会影响到所有正在申请PR的申请人,无论是什么专业,申请进行到哪一个阶段。这简直是致命的打击!看着人家在group3里的会计和IT等专业都可以通过DRC拿到梦寐以求的PR,自己只能干瞪眼就够郁闷了,现在不仅是要无限期等待,而且还可能分分钟被判死刑,这也太不公平了!
希望和我相同状况的朋友也可以说说你们的看法,高手们请告诉我们这是不是真的?究竟哪些专业会受到影响?什么时候才能得到准确消息?这个visa capping program 到底是个什么东东?
This limit, or cap, applies only for the migration program year in which it is introduced. When a cap is reached, applicants then wait in a queue for visa grant consideration in a following year, subject to places becoming available.
This means that when the number of visas set by the Minister for a visa class for the migration program year has been reached, no further visas can be granted in that program year.
可是minister有权利限制某一专业的移民人数,一旦达到他设定的限制,他有权限将其他的申请都视为无效申请的,至于这个专业是什么,现在还不清楚,也许今年不限制,明年心血来潮就限制了,反正移民局本身就官司缠身,最好的办法就是自己给自己一个模棱两可的法律到时候自己怎么解释都行,我们就只有被宰的份
The Act also contains a ‘cap and cease’ provision, though to date this provision has been used only in respect of some elements of the Humanitarian and the General Skilled Migration Programs.
The provision means that when a cap has been reached for a particular visa class, work on all applications which have not been processed to decision stops and the files are closed. These applications are treated as if they have not been submitted.
