migration system since January 1st, 2021. This
essentially implicates that the country considers
factors such as skills, qualifications, professions,
salaries and age of the applicant to grant residency
to skilled professionals.

International students pursuing higher education in

the UK (followed by post-study work visa) can
benefit from this system by carefully choosing
those courses which are related to those listed in
the United Kingdom Shortage Occupation List.

If you satisfy this criteria, an additional 20 points

will be awarded to your permanent residency
application.
