Estimate your Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) score on the International Skilled Worker points grid. The points come from the SINP's published assessment grid, checked on October 18, 2026. The grid has a maximum of 110 points, and the SINP says you need at least 60 points to apply under the Employment Offer, Occupations In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-categories.

How the score is calculated
Factor I (labour market success, up to 80 points) is the same for every sub-category. Factor II (connection to the Saskatchewan labour market and adaptability, up to 30 points) depends on the sub-category.
| Factor | Maximum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Education and training | 23 | Master's or doctorate 23; bachelor's or a degree of at least three years 20; journeyperson-equivalent trade certification 20; two-year diploma 15; certificate 12. |
| Skilled work experience | 15 | Up to 10 points for the 5 years before you submit and up to 5 points for years 6 to 10. The work must relate to the job on your application. |
| Language | 30 | Up to 20 points for the first official language and up to 10 for the second, from CLB 4 upward. |
| Age | 12 | 22 to 34 earns 12; 35 to 45 earns 10; 18 to 21 and 46 to 50 earn 8; under 18 and over 50 earn 0. |
| Factor II: employment offer | 30 | Employment Offer only: a high-skilled offer from a Saskatchewan employer. |
| Factor II: connections | 30 | Occupations In-Demand and Express Entry only: close family relative 20, past Saskatchewan work experience 5, past Saskatchewan student experience 5. |
| Maximum total | 110 | Factor I (80) plus Factor II (30). |
What the estimate does not tell you
Sixty points is only one requirement. You must also meet the sub-category's other criteria: an eligible occupation (TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 and not on the excluded list), the required skilled work experience (at least one year for most applicants), language at the required level (at least CLB 4 for Employment Offer and Occupations In-Demand), related education with an educational credential assessment for foreign credentials, settlement funds, and licensure or professional status where it applies.
- Selection. For Occupations In-Demand and Express Entry, you submit an expression of interest that stays active for one year. The SINP invites the highest-ranked candidates in draws, may limit selections by occupation, and does not announce draw dates in advance. A tie is broken first in favour of candidates with a Saskatchewan connection, then by work experience and language scores.
- Proof. Every point you claim must be supported by documents attached when you apply, or the application is closed and returned. If you claim the family-relative points and that relative has supported someone before, you must show the previous nominee has been settled in Saskatchewan for at least six months.
- 2026 allocation and work permit rules. Nominations are subject to priority-sector and capped-sector limits in 2026. Post-graduation work permit holders can apply only to the Student, Health Talent, Agriculture Talent, Innovation and Tech Talent and International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer sub-categories, and some open work permits, such as spousal work permits, no longer qualify for some pathways. Read the SINP's immigration FAQs before you choose a sub-category.
