Points-based immigration system

A points-based immigration system is a method used by some countries to evaluate and select immigrants based on specific criteria. Each applicant is assigned points for qualifications such as skills, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Those who accumulate enough points can gain entry or residency. This system aims to attract individuals who can contribute positively to the economy and society. It helps ensure that immigrants meet particular standards, allowing governments to manage immigration effectively while addressing labor shortages and demographic changes.
