Page 1 of 2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROSPECTIVE MIGRANTS Without close family connections the most viable and often the only way to emigrate to Canada or Australia is via the Independent categories of visas.
These categories which dominate the immigration programmes of the above countries are designed for relatively young, highly skilled people who will quickly make a contribution to the country's economy. These people should not represent any social, medical or financial risk or burden to the country. To be eligible for migration applicants in these categories must meet a points test pass mark which determines whether -as tested against minimum standards applicable to everyone - they qualify. BELOW ARE THE "CORE CRITERIA" THAT DOMINATE IN CANADA: | Factors | Max. points one can score | | Age | 10 | | Education | 25 | | Arranged employment | 10 | | Work experience (you need a min. of 1 point or arranged employment) | 21 | | Language ability (English and/or French) | 24 | | Adaptability | 10 |
