I was thinking about it and is not sure whether to apply in this lot or wait for the express entry that is scheduled to start at Jan 2015. I heard that current process takes 24+ months while in the new system if you got selected it will be shortened to few months. I am confused what to do. BTW I have a job here and is worried only if I won't get lucky in the next year's H1b lottery and I am in civil engg. I would appreciate if anyone's some insights?
