arq Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi All, Today, the minimum occupation ceilings have been raised to a minimum of 1000 seats, plus the invitations issued to subclass 190 & 489 (state) have also been subtracted from the total invitations given so far in any occupation. They have further reduced the allocations for subclass 489 (Family sponsored stream) to a mere 15.....WTH!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arq Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi, It means that for any occupation, the minimum quota has been set to 1000 allocations and not less than that. I spotted this on the website last week, pardon me for being a bit of a div but what does this mean?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arq Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 2000 seats for subclass and ONLY 15 for Family sponsored subclass 489????????? last year they gave around 1400 invites to family sponsored subclass 489, I wonder what they are thinking of doing this year, considering the fact that only 7 rounds are left.....

kayinperth Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Minimum1000 but it doesn't mean 1000 invitations are issued ?(for instance, only 5 invitations to cook in the year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arq Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi, It depends on the total number of seats available. Currently, the occupation ceiling depicts the invitations given out to subclass 189 & family sponsored 489. If there were only 5 invites for cook, than that means only 5 applied. Minimum1000 but it doesn't mean 1000 invitations are issued ?(for instance, only 5 invitations to cook in the year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
