Governments nominate throughout the month for specific points tested skilled migration and business innovation and investment visas.
Separate results for these visa subclasses are provided monthly.
1 February 2017 results
The following graph shows the points for clients who were invited to apply in the 1 February 2017 round.
Invitation process and cut offs
The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at
which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the visa date of effect) determines their order of invitation.
Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.

Due to high levels of demand, and in keeping with previous years, the below occupation groups will be subject to pro rata arrangements
to ensure availability of invitations across the programme year. SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled – Independent visas
(subclass 189) and then the remaining to Skilled – Regional (Provisional) visas (subclass 489). If all places are taken up by subclass 189
visas then there will be no invitations issued for subclass 489 visas in these occupations.

Occupation Ceilings
The table below shows the occupation ceilings for the 2016-2017 programme year for each occupation on the Skilled Occupation List
(SOL) by four-digit ANZSCO code unit group, and the number of invitations that will be issued in this programme year.
Occupation ceiling values are based on a percentage of stock employment figures for each occupation. Stock employment figures are
provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and represent the number of people employed in Australia in each occupation.
The ceilings ensure the skilled migration programme is not dominated by a narrow group of occupations.
Occupation ceilings do not apply to State or Territory Nominated, Employer Sponsored or Business Innovation and Investment visa
subclasses.
