The value returned from the load function is not of type numeric errors after migration to Coldfusion 11

Question

I am currently testing our website with CF11. It is currently working with CF8 however after migrating it to a new server running CF11 I have encountered the following error.
The value returned from the load function is not of type numeric.
The error occurred in
D:/Applications/CFusion/CustomTags/nec/com/objects/address.cfc: line 263

261 : <cfif isNumeric(get.idCountry)>
262 : <cfset rc = this.objCountry.setID(get.idCountry)>
263 : <cfset rc = this.objCountry.load()>
264 : </cfif>
265 : <cfset this.sPostcode = get.sPostcode>
Have there been any changes between CF8 and CF11 that could  cause this error?
Does anyone have ideas?
