Scoring factors are not the same as eligibility criteria. A score here does not mean you qualify — you must separately meet every requirement of the programme. This is not immigration advice.

SINP questions

The International Skilled Worker grid runs to 110 points and you need at least 60 to be considered for nomination. Reaching 60 makes you eligible to be considered — it is not the same as being invited, and Saskatchewan still selects from among eligible candidates.

It depends on what you have. Employment Offer is for candidates with a high-skilled job offer from a Saskatchewan employer. Occupation In-Demand is for candidates without a job offer whose occupation is on Saskatchewan's list. Saskatchewan Express Entry is for candidates who already have a profile in the federal Express Entry pool. The choice changes which connection points are available to you.

Not for every route. The Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry subcategories do not require a job offer, which is a large part of why SINP is often described as one of the more accessible provincial programmes for applicants with no Canadian connection at all.

Substantially — 20 points, which is a third of the qualifying score. The relative must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Saskatchewan, and can be a parent, sibling, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew or first cousin, including step- and in-law equivalents. Note that these points apply under Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry, not under Employment Offer.

No. The connection factors are mutually exclusive by subcategory. Under Employment Offer, the job offer is worth 30 points and the family and residence connections do not apply. Under the other two subcategories, family, past Saskatchewan work and past Saskatchewan study can total 30 points but the job offer points do not apply.

No. You can apply from outside Canada, and past Saskatchewan work or study simply adds 5 points each if you happen to have them. What Saskatchewan is assessing is whether you are likely to settle successfully in the province, which is what the connection factors are measuring.
