How to Boost Your Points for Skilled Migration: Guide for Nigerians and Africans

For Nigerians and Africans applying for Australian skilled visas, like the Subclass 189, 190, and 491, your points score determines if you’ll be invited to apply. If your score is lower than required, there are proven strategies to close the gap and increase your chances of receiving an invitation.

We work with clients to strategically boost points without wasting time or money.

 

Where Your Points Come From

  • Age

  • English language ability

  • Skilled work experience (Australia & overseas)

  • Educational qualifications

  • Australian study

  • Partner skills
