People who've applied to CC 2023 TC and either received a WG or the "maybe pile" email:

Have you completed and passed the WG in previous cycles?

I remember when I applied last year, I was skipped past the WG stage as I'd already passed the WG in a previous cycle (got rejected tho). Maybe this is why some people (myself included) haven't heard back yet, despite our applications already being updated?

Those of you who got the 'your application is of interest' email for CC 2023 TC, was there an attachment to that email? Just opened my inbox and saw an email from CC Recruitment with an attachment but too scared to open it 😂

Does this email essentially mean we’re on a waiting list or maybe pile?
Could be

I got the so called ‘maybe pile’ email this morning. This is my first time applying to CC and my app updated twice (26/11 and
2/12)

Yeah I received the same email saying my profile is of interest. I did pass the WG test last year.
