How do you calculate my ImmiScore? How does it work?

Your ImmiScore is calculated based on numerous individual factors, and every unique factor ends up in a section. It is crucial to understand the architecture of each section.

Generally, Sections are as follows: 

• Expert view elements
• Historical facts and data
• Country-Specific stats

Expert view:

We reviewed over 1000 refused study permit applications brought for review to the federal court. We captured some common elements that the federal court ruled in rendering a decision unreasonable and turned them into a factor with a specific weight in assessing your application. 

For instance, having a job offer commitment in your home country is a positive factor in assessing your application, and it has been discussed many times in many judicial reviews. So a Job offer is a factor in your ImmiScore, along with other relevant factors brought into the "Ties" Section.

However, the Immigratic advanced analytical tool does not award the same score for a job offer to every application. Some elements, such as job offers, are meaningful in connection with country-specific stats. Look at the following example: 

1- Student A is from Afghanistan. He has a commitment for employment upon graduation from an employer back in his country (individual factor). However, GDP per capita in Afghanistan is less than $1000 (country-specific stats).

2- Student B is from Italy. She has a commitment to employment upon graduation from an employer in Italy. GDP per capita in Italy is over $30k.

When Immigratic calculates job offer score, it looks into the relevant context ( in this example, GDP per capita). These scenarios award a unique score for each applicant's job offer.

Historical facts and data

Historical facts and data are the foundation of Immigratic and have the highest weights in the ImmiScore calculations. When answering the ImmiReport questioner, Immigratic first finds out the type of study permit application you are applying; whether it's an initial application, extension or change of status ( for instance, from visitor to student).

Then based upon those findings, it sorts out and pulls all historical data according to your nationality, place of intended study, level of intended study, the current level of study and much more factors and simulates a profile based on the most recent trends.

Let say; You are a citizen of {India}, and you are applying from your {home country} for a {new} study permit application. You want to study at the {Master's} level at the {University of Toronto}. Immigratic looks at its database with the keywords bolded in the above paragraph every year in the past ten years.

In making recommendations, especially DLI alternative suggestions, we look at the exact keywords to find which educational institutions had the best performance in terms of {new} study permit approval at the {Master's} level for citizens of {India}.

Why is this so important? Well, you should have heard that the IRCC has been using a bulk processing system called "Chinook." The bulk processing looks into your profile and items similar to what you answer to the ImmiReport questionnaire and categorizes your application based on complexity into three tiers. Tier 1 is a less complex case and usually triggers auto eligibility approval. It is unfortunate if your case ends up in tier 2 or 3, as Usually, it ends up in more increased refusal rates.

 In the above example, Immigratic's DLI recommendation makes your file less complex and statistically with a higher chance of approval.

Country-Specific stats

As explained in the expert view section, some elements may not directly impact calculating your ImmiSocre but would impact calculating the other factors. GDP per capita, Minimum wages per hour, Happiness index, Assylum rates per capita in Canada and some other factors would have an impact to either boost up your ImmiScore or crack it down.

Summary:

So, Immigratic is an advanced analytical tool that uses the combination of data mining in large databases with hundreds of thousands of rows with the training and adjustment of Canadian Immigration professionals that turns it into an assessment machine.
