Scoring is based on four broad categories:

• Basic human factors (age, education, languages, experience)
• Spouse or partner (if applicable)
• Skill transfer factors (combinations that increase your value)
• Additional factors (such as studies in Canada, siblings in Canada, valid job offer, provincial nomination)
