SINP Point Calculator
SINP Points Calculator 2026
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is the provincial nominee program for the province of Saskatchewan. It is specifically designed to attract skilled global talent to live in the province as permanent residents.
How the SINP points grid works
Saskatchewan scores International Skilled Worker candidates out of 110 points. You need at least 60 points to apply. Your points come from two factors:
- Labour market success, up to 80 points: education and training (23), skilled work experience (15), English or French language ability (30) and age (12)
- Connection to Saskatchewan, up to 30 points: a high-skilled job offer from a Saskatchewan employer (30, Employment Offer subcategory only)
- Or, for the Occupations In-Demand and Express Entry subcategories: a close family relative in Saskatchewan (20), past work in Saskatchewan (5) and past study in Saskatchewan (5)
Which SINP streams use these points?
The grid is used for the International Skilled Worker category: Employment Offer, Occupations In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry. Saskatchewan Express Entry also needs a valid Express Entry profile number and Job Seeker Code. Every point you claim must be backed by documents when you apply, so it is worth checking your score carefully before you submit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum SINP score?
60 points out of 110. Reaching 60 makes you eligible to apply. It does not guarantee that you will be selected, so every extra point helps.
Do I need a job offer for Saskatchewan?
Not always. A job offer is needed for the Employment Offer subcategory. The Occupations In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry subcategories do not need one, but your work experience must be in an eligible occupation.
How many points is language worth?
Up to 30 points: 20 for your first official language and 10 for your second. Points start from CLB 4, and a higher test score earns more points.
Is this calculator official?
No. It gives an estimate based on the grid Saskatchewan publishes. Our licensed consultants (RCICs) check your result and your documents before you apply.
