Australia occupation ceiling 2019-2020 has revealed the maximum number of skilled immigrants who will be admitted under each of the occupations in the country’s Skilled Occupation List. Australia Occupation Ceiling sets a limit to the number of skilled immigrants who can move Australia in a certain career field.
Australia welcomes thousands of skilled migrants from different parts of the world every year. Australia occupation ceiling allows the country to limit the number of skilled workers who can be admitted each program year under a specific career field. By setting occupation ceilings, Australia makes sure that its skilled migration program is not dominated by a small number of occupations.
Invitations issued under the independent and skilled regional visas have to comply with occupation ceilings. Once the ceiling is hit, no more invitations are issued under that particular occupation group in that year. If that happens, immigration candidates of other occupation groups will be invited, even if their ranking is low.
The Australia Occupation Ceiling is not applicable to visa subclasses such as:
- State or Territory Nominated
- Employer-sponsored
- Business Innovation and Investment
The Australia Occupation Ceiling for the program year 2019-2020 is as follows:
