In addition to the following criteria, an applicant may apply if living outside Canada or have a valid proof of legal status in Canada.
Moreover, refugee claimants are not eligible for this sub-category.
 Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) minimum score should be 4 at least. Nevertheless, employers or regulatory bodies have a

Must have a matrix level “A”, “B” or “0” regarding “High Skilled” occupation in the National Occupational

 A Valid proof of Saskatchewan licensure eligibility should be furnished. This clause is applicable only if the occupation you
want to join falls under a compulsory apprenticeship trade or regulated profession.
 Need to provide proof of settlement funds and actual settlement plan.
The federal government decides the true amount of nominations made by SINP every year. The maximum number of application

Ineligibility criteria
Following candidates are not eligible for International Skilled Worker Category: Occupation In-Demand sub-category.
 Those who have claimed refugee status from the Government of Canada are not eligible to apply.

 Documentation was not submitted in accordance with the directions of SINP
 Applicant fails to establish a genuine intention to live and work in Saskatchewan

Things considered while awarding Assessment Rating
As discussed earlier, a minimum score of 60 points out of 100 points is required on the Point Assessment Grid in order to seek eligibility
for the nomination.
The assessment rating is awarded while considering these five factors:
 Valid proof of education and training
 Ability to speak and understand language
 Overall experience as a skilled work
 Interactions with the Saskatchewan labour market.
 Age of the applicant
In order to fulfill eligibility criteria and points factors, proper documents are required to be attached to support nomination application.
For instance, if the applicant for having a university degree has claimed 20 points, he/she must provide a copy of university degree. If the
language of attached transcript is other than English or French, a translated version of said document should be attached.
