The UK's points-based immigration system aims to invite the best and brightest minds worldwide to the UK. This program empowers science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students, professionals, and workers in other occupations to get a pathway to UK permanent residence permit, called indefinite leave to remain (ILR). The newly introduced graduate route for overseas students will choose to reside in the UK for three years post their students and simultaneously seek employment. This point-based immigration system is per that of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, that similarly grant points based on the factors of particular skills, professions, salaries, qualifications, and age profiles of highly skilled overseas professionals.
