The wider field
Stream Overview — a whole subclass by status
Every other view zooms in. This one zooms out: the total number of EOIs in one subclass, split by status, month after month. It is the right first look when you want to know whether a change in your occupation is local or part of something happening across the whole stream.
What this view measures
One line per status for the subclass you selected, across the published months. Submitted is the pool still waiting; invited is EOIs holding an invitation at each snapshot; other statuses cover EOIs that have moved on.
Reading the chart
The relationship between the lines matters more than any single one. A submitted line climbing while the invited line stays flat is a stream where accumulation is outpacing invitation activity.
Compare the same months across subclasses by switching the visa filter. 189, 190 and 491 often have quite different shapes in the same period.
What the figure represents
This is the denominator behind every occupation chart. If the whole stream grew 8% and your occupation grew 9%, your occupation did not really outpace anything.
In the dashboard
Set the visa, leave occupations empty, and read the whole stream. Then narrow to one occupation in Occupation Trends and compare the two shapes.
Stream Overview is behind sign in; Occupation Trends is open in the guest trial.
Stream Overview is behind sign in. Occupation Trends for 189 and 190 plus five occupations is open in the guest trial.
For applicants
Use it for perspective. Seeing that an entire subclass is growing takes some of the personal weight out of watching your own occupation grow.
For migration professionals
The opening slide for a market briefing. Establish the stream shape first, then descend into the client’s occupation, so the specific number lands with context around it.
Limits of this view
It cannot attribute movement to policy, cannot see invitation rounds, and rolls all occupations together, so opposite movements inside the stream cancel out.
Common questions
Why does the invited line look so small?
Because it counts EOIs holding an invitation at a single snapshot, a much smaller set than everyone still waiting. The two lines are not meant to be similar in size.
