There was an increase in 70 point invitations from 605-1913 from the previous month. This would be nearly entirely NON PRO RATA occupations at 70 points.
DOHA have not yet (maybe later today) published the Occupational Ceiling numbers which are still backdated to August 2018.
This high number of non pro rata occupations looks highly dubious as the invite dates do not reflect a number above around 800-1000 for the October round.
DOHA have made many mistakes with their skill select system in the past so let’s see for further figures.
