R6.10 Points systems (10/11/2016)

1. Applications under the Skilled Migrant and Investor 2 Categories are assessed under a points system.
2. A person who is interested in applying for a resident visa under the Skilled Migrant or Investor 2 category must complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form in the prescribed manner.
3. EOIs that meet the prerequisites for health, character and other factors prescribed under those categories, including a minimum point score, are entered into the Skilled Migrant Category Pool or Investor 2 Category Pool.
4. EOIs are ranked in those pools on the basis of their total points. The ranking of EOIs relative to each other will change as EOIs enter, or are withdrawn from, the Pool, or as the points claimed by EOIs already in the Pool change.
5. EOIs may be selected from the relevant pool according to the selection criteria in place at the time of selection.
6. Selected EOIs may result in an Invitation to Apply for residence, subject to an assessment of the credibility of the information provided in the EOI and whether the EOI indicates the presence of any health or character issues that may adversely affect the ability of the person expressing interest to be granted a resident visa.
