The point system excludes which categories when deciding who to accept as immigrants (not including refugees and family-class)?

• A. Economic migrants
• B. Temporary workers
• C. Refugees and family-class
• D. International students

Answer: (C)

The point system is a scoring method used to decide permanent residents among economic immigrants, weighing factors like education, language ability, work experience, and adaptability to predict how well someone will settle and contribute to the economy. Not every immigration path is judged by this economic score. Refugees and those entering through family sponsorship are admitted for humanitarian reasons or family reunification and do not go through the points evaluation. That’s why they’re excluded from the point system. The other categories—economic migrants, temporary workers, and international students—fit into pathways related to the economic immigration process or can qualify for permanent residency through mechanisms that involve the points framework, but refugees and family-class are not part of that scoring.
