 If you wish to immigrate to Canada, you have to secure at least 67 points to qualify for submitting the application. IRCC makes use of a system of points to assess the application of candidates. A maximum of 100 points is allocated under this immigration assessment system. Your ability to immigrate to Canada will be greatly influenced by your score under this point system. If you score less than the prescribed 67 points, your application for immigration to Canada will be disapproved.Â
Canada aims to welcome millions of immigrants across the globe in the next 3 years. The immigration policies are regularly updated by the Federal Government. Its aim is to facilitate the smooth immigration of skilled and eligible immigrants to the nation.Â
