SINP Points Grid
Saskatchewan states: "You must score a minimum of 60 points out of 110 points on the Point Assessment Grid to be considered for nomination." Points are awarded for "Education and training", "Skilled work experience", "Language ability", "Age" and "Connections to the Saskatchewan (job market and family)" (Saskatchewan). See federal Express Entry for the Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-category.

Eligibility Points to Check
"The federal government sets the amount of nominations the SINP can make every year. No application is guaranteed to be accepted." (Saskatchewan)
"Not all candidates who submit an International Skilled Worker EOI will be invited to apply to the SINP." (Saskatchewan)
"To remain eligible for a nomination you must meet the minimum points of the EOI Selection through which you received your ITA." (Saskatchewan)
"If misrepresentation is found to have taken place then the applicant may be suspended from using the SINP for two years (or more, in the case of a repeat offence)." (Saskatchewan)
"You must include all required documents in your application. Missing documents will result in your incomplete application being returned." (Saskatchewan)
"Some employers may ask for language scores that are higher than CLB 4" (Saskatchewan)
