An EOI is not a person. The same applicant can hold EOIs across the 189, 190 and 491 streams at once, so these counts overstate distinct people by an unknown factor.
Pool depth is not a guarantee of invitation timing. Occupation ceilings, state nomination criteria and round sizes move independently of how many EOIs are currently waiting.
