What happens with all the people who applied before Feb. 27, 2008, and still have to wait for six or more years for their application to be processed?
JK: They’re all guaranteed that they will be processed in the same order in which their application was received. It’s that any future applicants, as of February 2008, who don’t fall within the 38 categories will get a letter shortly indicating that they don’t qualify for the identified occupations in the skilled worker program, but we will point out to them other programs for which they can apply, including the provincial nominee programs and temporary foreign workers programs.
