Assessment Rating

You'll need to score at least 60 out of 100 points on the Point Assessment Grid to be considered for nomination by the SINP.

Points are awarded based on the following five factors:

• Education and training;
• Skilled work experience;
• Language ability;
• Age; and,
• Connection(s) and adaptability to the Saskatchewan labour market.

Be sure to provide documents to prove that you’re eligible and meet the five factors above.

If your degree is printed in a language other than English or French, you must also attach a translated version.
