Occupation ID: 2612 (Multimedia Specialists and Web Developers) Ceiling Value is 1000 But the strange thing is the number of invitations issued is ZERO (0)

What does this mean? Why the occupation is in the list they are not sending even one invite? I checked the list for upcoming year it is again part of it.I am sure there will be many applications filed under this occupation too but i don't understand why not a single invite is issued.

There could be any number of reasons.  Perhaps the department doesn't feel any of the applicants are sufficiently qualified.  Perhaps they feel there are plenty of local web developers available right now. Or perhaps it's just part of the general slowdown on immigration by this government.

I think it’s just that there’s not that many people with that profession applying, at least to get as far as being offered an invitation for that kind of visa.

Most likely because no one nominating that occupation has applied with sufficient points to be invited to apply for a visa.

The current points requirement to gain an invite is very high and not many people are being invited.
