The Australian government has finally released the Occupation Ceilings for the program year 2020-2021. The list was being awaited eagerly, as both Australia immigration applicants as well as the experts wanted to know about the allocation of visa places against the high demand occupations of Australia. Lets' find out the details of the new ceiling list
What is Occupation Ceiling?
The Department of Home Affairs, Australia releases the occupation-ceiling list for every program year. This list indicates how many visa invitations can be issued for each high demand occupation of Australia in a program year. It also indicates the number of issued invitations on a particular date. A country cannot issue indefinite number of visas for any particular occupation, as this will create a chaos and disorder in the job market.

Hence, the government decides a ceiling or limit for inviting skilled visa for every occupation. Once this ceiling or limit reached for any particular occupation, no further visas can be issued against that occupation.
