SASKATCHEWAN PNP POINTS CALCULATOR

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) provides a pathway for individuals to immigrate to Canada. Obtaining a provincial nomination significantly enhances your prospects of securing Canadian permanent residency (PR). The SINP employs a point-based system, referred to as the Saskatchewan Immigration Points Calculator, to evaluate and select candidates from the SINP pool, subsequently inviting them to apply for Canada PR through bi-monthly draws.

Types of Saskatchewan PNP

There are four distinct immigration categories under the Saskatchewan PNP:

International Skilled Worker Category
Saskatchewan Experience Category
Entrepreneur and Farm Category

International Skilled Worker Category

This category allows foreign skilled workers to apply for the Saskatchewan PNP. If you fulfill the minimum criteria of this category, such as possessing work experience in a Saskatchewan in-demand occupation, you may be eligible for provincial nomination.

Saskatchewan Experience Category

This category is designated for temporary foreign workers who are currently employed in the province and wish to apply for provincial nomination.

Entrepreneur and Farm Category

This category caters to immigrants intending to establish a business or farm in Saskatchewan. Each of these categories has unique immigration processes and requirements.

To immigrate to Saskatchewan via the SINP's International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer, International Skilled Worker: Saskatchewan Express Entry, or International Skilled Worker: Occupations In-Demand, a minimum score of 60 out of 110 points is necessary on the SINP Points Calculator.
