Latest Skillselect update as of March 1, 2017: EOI 65 points, as of November 10, 2016 with 34 invitations made, 106 out of 1539 invitations remaining, and 2 estimated invitation rounds to go before ceiling achieved.
My apprehension: Ok lang po sakin kung hinde ma-invite within this financial year as long as it will remain in the next SOL. My occupation with ANZCO code 233513 is one among the FLAGGED occupations in 2016-17 SOL, a possibility na hinde ito included in the next financial year SOL 2017-18. Upon searching; this occupation has been included in the FLAGGED occupations since 2014 together with several others in every financial year.
Anyone can provide me with information? Do I have to fear if I will not get an invitation within this financial year?
Sana hinde mag 70 points on the next remaining invitaion rounds...........
