A PR points draw refers to the invitation rounds conducted by the Department of Home Affairs through the SkillSelect system. During each round, top-ranking candidates with the highest PR points are invited to apply for visas such as subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) or subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional). The minimum threshold is 65 points, but actual cut-offs vary depending on occupation ceilings, state allocations, and applicant demand. Recent invitation rounds show higher cut-offs, often in the 80–90 points range for competitive occupations like engineering and IT.
