The full guide

Clearing the qualifying salary alone doesn't guarantee approval — you also need to pass COMPASS, a separate 40-point framework scoring salary relative to local peers in your specific sector, qualifications, and two employer-level factors (workforce diversity, support for local employment) that are outside your control as an applicant. The most common rejection cause is actually a low COMPASS aggregate, not a salary shortfall by itself — a strong employer with a good local-hiring record often matters as much as your personal profile.
