Finally, an updated from Citizenship and Immigration Canada!  This CIC page was last modified June 6, 2014 and the posted information about applications received was as of May 4, 2014.  Please note that the number of complete federal skilled worker applications received is just an estimate - not a real-time tally.

So far, it looks like Financial and Investment Analysts (NOC 1112) will be the first to reach the cap with 43 complete applications received.
