Hurry up Engineers - Australian Immigration's quota will get filled soon

Statistics released by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) indicate that quotas (Occupation Ceiling) for Engineers and IT Professionals are being filled up despite Australia’s new fiscal year having just began on 1st July.
DIAC has therefore announced that remaining places will be allocated on a ‘pro-rata basis” for the rest of the program year meaning that only a few places will be allocated each month in the highest demand occupations to make them last for the rest of the year.

Below are the occupations presently affected:

• Chemical and Materials Engineers (50% filled)
• Electronics Engineers (39% filled)
• Telecommunications Engineering Professionals (38% filled)
• Other Engineering Professionals (36% filled)

What is an Occupation Ceiling? The Occupational Ceiling is a quota set by the Australian government each program year (which runs from 1 July to 30 June) for General Skilled Migration program. Once an occupation reached its ceiling, no further invitation to apply will be issued in that occupation until the beginning of the next program year. An invitation to apply (ITA) is a requirement obtained from the SkillSelect system to qualify for skilled migration.
