*Disclaimer : AIS Overseas' quick eligibility check helps candidates understand their scores. The points that are shown are solely dependent on your responses. Note that each section's points are assessed according to different criteria specified in the immigration standards; therefore, to determine your precise scores and eligibility to apply for a particular immigration program, a technical review is required. You may receive high or low points when our knowledgeable team technically assesses you; the Quick Eligibility Check does not guarantee you the points listed below. Depending on the profession you have chosen, several assessing bodies will handle your skills assessment. Each of these assessing bodies will have certain standards for what constitutes a skilled applicant. State and territorial authorities will also have requirements that an application must meet for them to approve sponsorships. Thus, a candidate must submit an application for a technical assessment.
Using a points-based system has several benefits, including guaranteeing that only highly competent immigrants are admitted and providing each applicant with an equal opportunity. Transparency is the second benefit of the point-based system. The system clearly explains to candidates the several factors they will be evaluated on and the methodology of scoring for each criterion.
Candidates will be able to assess where they stand and what needs to be improved upon to gain additional points based on their results.

The United Kingdom (UK) exited the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020. The UK then instituted a new points-based system to attract highly skilled people to establish "a high wage, high-skill, high productivity economy."
The emphasis is now on a person's skills, regardless of background, under the UK's point-based system.
A UK Skilled Worker visa requires 70 points, according to the UK Skilled Immigration Points Calculator. Requirements include: (1) a work offer from a UK sponsor that has been accepted. (2) the UK job offer having the necessary skill level. (3) having the necessary degree of English language proficiency. These are the requirements that every applicant must fulfil, regardless of whether they are applying from an EU or non-EU nation. It is possible to trade and alter other factors against one another.
