What is an occupation ceiling?
An occupation ceiling is a limit on the number of invitations that can be issued through SkillSelect each year.
An occupation ceiling is applied to:
Skilled independent visas
Skilled regional sponsored visas
Skilled or business state or territory sponsored visas.
You will not be invited to apply for one of these visas if your occupation has reached its ceiling.

1. 75 of 99 entries lang yung may info about PCC/Medical Dates
2. 3 of 67 lang sa mga visa grants ang nag frontload; sergz126(190), netzkeenet(190), Ashok (189)
3. Dun sa 3 na yung timeline nila from lodge to grant average is 3.24 months
4. Dun sa 2 na 190 timeline average is 3.65 months; Dun sa isang 189 timeline is 2.43 months
Conclusion: Di enough yung data natin to conclude na mas mabilis ang frontload or not. It is showing the same TAT for the very limited samples (3 frontloads). Actually based on tracking, out of 75 na merong info on PCC and Medicals, 5 lang yung nag frontload.
Hope this helps. Kitakits.

Some stats:
1. SC189 average timeline for 2014 = 2.1 months
2. SC190/489 average timeline for 2014 = 3.5 months
3. Jul and Aug batches average for 190/489 significantly faster at 2.1 months, better than 2.4 months average of SC189.
4. ANZSCO with the most entries is 261311 (Analyst Programmer) with 12 applicants; 2nd is 261313 (Software Engineer) with 11 applicants. Kaso meron pa ding blank sa tracking na 14 entries.
5. Fastest grants at 24 and 26 days! Kaw na! ANZSCO 233914 Engg Technologist and 234611 Medical Lab Scientist.
Note: Tinanggal ko na yung chart for grant+waiting kasi maliit lang diperensya and to simplify yung data natin.
