What is EOI scores?

EOI scores, in the context of immigration and skilled worker visas, refer to Expression of Interest scores. These are points-based systems used by various countries (most notably Australia and Canada) to rank applicants for skilled migration visas. The higher the score, the greater the chance of receiving an invitation to apply for a visa.

The score is calculated based on a number of factors, which vary by country and program, but typically include:

* Age: Younger applicants generally score higher.

* Skills and qualifications: Relevant work experience, educational qualifications, and professional certifications all contribute to the score.

* English language proficiency: Demonstrated competency in English (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL scores) is crucial.

* Work experience: Years of relevant work experience in a skilled occupation.

* Occupation: Some occupations are in higher demand and therefore receive more points.

* State/Provincial Nomination (in some programs): Receiving a nomination from a specific state or province often adds significant points.

The specific points awarded for each factor and the overall score threshold required to receive an invitation to apply vary significantly depending on the country's immigration policies and the specific visa program. Applicants need to consult the official government websites for the most up-to-date information on point allocation and requirements.
