it seems that in 2008 CIC came up with a new list of only 38 NOC occupations that are eligible to apply under skilled worker category
None of those 38 occupations are for software/IT people, like software developers, designers or programmers.
I was hoping to apply under 2173 (Software Engineers and Designers) or 2171 (Information Systems Analysts and Consultants).
none of those are in the list of 38.
Does this mean the door is closed for software enginners?
