SINP International Skilled Worker Category

Last updated: 14 March 2023

The SINP's International Skilled Worker Category enables the province to nominate skilled workers with the required education, experience, and language abilities to successfully establish in Saskatchewan.

There are three sub-categories under this provincial immigration category:

The SINP now uses an Expression of Interest System for its Occupation In-Demand and Express Entry sub-categories. 


Candidates in the SINP's International Skilled Worker Category Expression of Interest (EOI) pool are assessed according to the following five factors: education and training, skilled work experience, language ability, age, and connection(s) to the Saskatchewan labour market and adaptability. To enter the SINP EOI pool, candidates are required to score a minimum of 60 out of 110 points in the EOI Points Grid, among other eligibility requirements, in order to be considered.
