Migration to Australia. Correct me if I'm wrong. Migration to Australia for permanent residency (PR) is possible via Australian skilled migration visa which is based on score collecting. They give visas to applicants who have got more points indeed. If you want to apply for such PR visas (for instance 189, 190 subclasses) you have to know how to calculate your pass mark under the points. To be eligible to apply for skilled migration visas, you must have a minimum pass mark of at least 65 points. Points are awarded on the basis of factors like age, English language ability, skilled employment, qualifications and etc.
