The Occupation Ceiling Value of the open occupations in Skilled Occupation List (SOL) of Australia is about to reach to the maximum limit at any point of time, in view of the huge influx of applications. If you are wondering as to what the SOL and occupation ceiling value is, find below the key information about the both.

What is SOL and Occupation Ceiling Value?

The Skilled Occupation List (SOL) is the list of greatly in demand occupations in Australia, released by Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) of Australia every year. The skilled migrants from all parts of the world are invited every year, to apply for these occupations online.

The Occupation Ceiling Value is the maximum number of applications can be received in a year for a particular occupation listed in SOL list. Once the Occupation Ceiling Value is achieved for a specific occupation in SOL, no further applications can be accepted for the same occupation in the existing year.

(Note:With effect from April 19, 2017, Australian Government has replaced the old Occupation lists, i.e. SOL & CSOL with new Skilled Occupation lists, i.e. Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)&Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). The visa applicants, eligible to nominate an occupation from STSOL, also have access to some occupations in MLTSSL. Hence, both the lists (STSOL & MLTSSL) have been combined to form a new Combined List of Eligible Skilled Occupationsand hence, there is no separate STSOL list.)
