Hinanap ko yung FSWP 2011 and I found this.
Subcaps of 500 applications each were put into place so that the program would not be dominated by a handful of professions. Of the 29 occupations, 14 reached their subcaps. These include family and specialist physicians, pharmacists, dentists, registered and licensed practical nurses, social workers and architects.
Mas maliit ang subcap kaya mas mabilis siya napuno. Also, iba ang points system noon. Marami akong kakilala na mas hirap i-meet ang points system despite having more than 6 years exp dahil mas mataas ang language at education compared to the experience recently. Another factor na makakapagpatagal sa pag send ng application is the ECA. Marami ang naghahabol for the ECA pa.
So I guess malaki pa ang chance umabot sa cap. Just my two cents. 
The subcap for nurses only doubled this year. If you say the point system became easier, then the higher the chances that 3012 would be filled up fast. Lalo na't nakapaghanda pa ang lahat for 2 years. Siguro ang pinakaconsuelo dito ay:
(1)yung pag split ng nurses into 4 categories (0311 chief nurses, 3011 head nurses and supervisors, 3012 nurses in general, and 3233 N.A.s),
(2) yung hindi pag expect na babalik ang NOC code ng nurses sa FSW 2014 (kaya naglipatan na ang madami sa QSW kung saan number 1 ang nurses sa list),
(3) yung time for getting ECA (para sa mga hindi nakapag prepare dahil hindi naman ito requirement noon)
But with all this, I still believe that 3012 is probably filled up by now.
