The immigration point system evaluates applicants based on what?

• A. Language proficiency alone
• B. Age alone
• C. Family ties alone
• D. Skills and education

Answer: (D)

Immigration point systems are built to gauge who can contribute to the economy. The best answer is that applicants are evaluated on their skills and education because the system assigns points for schooling, degrees, and relevant work experience, which show their ability to perform jobs and fit the labor market. Language proficiency and age can influence the score, but they’re secondary to the core qualification of having market-relevant skills and education. Family ties alone don’t indicate job readiness and aren’t the main basis for admission. So, skills and education best capture what the system aims to measure.
