1. As Expressions of Interest (EOI) are entered into the Pool they will be ranked on the basis of total points claimed for employability and capacity building factors in accordance with the Skilled Migrant Category.

3. EOIs that have total points of 160 or more are selected automatically from the Pool.
4. The automatic selection mark for EOIs may be adjusted as necessary to manage the achievement of the overall New Zealand Residence Programme (NZRP), by the Minister of Immigration certifying amended Residence instructions.
