What does the SINP points calculator do?
The SINP points calculator adds up your points on the official grid for the SINP International Skilled Worker category. It covers education, skilled work, language, age and your connection to Saskatchewan.
It works for the Employment Offer, Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry categories. Job offer and family points apply to different categories, so it asks only what fits yours.
Do I need 60 points?
Yes. You need at least 60 points on the grid to apply under these categories. The points you claim must be confirmed by the documents you submit with your application.
What your score tells you
- Pass mark: 60 points out of 110 to apply
- Ranking: Occupation In-Demand and Express Entry candidates are invited from a pool, so a higher score helps
- Gaps: the breakdown shows which factors cost you points
- Express Entry: a Saskatchewan Express Entry nomination adds 600 CRS points

A wrong input gives a wrong score. Watch for these.
Claiming points you cannot prove

Picking the wrong category
Job offer points count only in Employment Offer. Family and Saskatchewan work points count only in Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry.
