The world's major immigration destinations use a points system to determine whether or not an immigration candidate is eligible to apply for immigration. The points awarded in such an immigration system will take into account a variety of factors such as education, age, work experience, and so on. Those who obtain the required minimum number of points may apply for immigration. The higher the number of points, the more likely it is that these potential immigrants will migrate abroad.
