Where a immigration officer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a immigration officer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Immigration officers monitor the eligibility of people, food, electronic devices and merchandise entering a country via an entry point. They use surveillance methods and check identification and documents to ensure entry criteria and custom laws are complied with. They can also conduct interviews with prospective immigrants to verify eligibility and inspect cargo to identify and detect violations.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a immigration officer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
