How to calculate points for Saskatchewan PNP?
SINP Points Calculator also termed as the Nomination Assessment Grid of Saskatchewan is used for assessing the eligibility of applicants under the SINP. The assessment is skills-based and it thus assists in the arrival of skilled immigrants to the Saskatchewan Province.
The evaluation grid has a maximum of 110 points. An applicant has to secure a minimum of 60 points to qualify for the program. Candidates are required to offer supporting documents along with the SINP application to demonstrate that they have fulfilled the requirement of 60 points.
The SINP points grid is also used for ranking the Expression of Interest of candidates. Candidates with the highest scores are most likely to receive the invitation to submit their applications for SINP.
If a large number of candidates have the same scores, Saskatchewan Province reserves the right for applying extra criteria to prioritize candidates selection. In this case, SINP offers priority to candidates with a connection to the province’s past education/past experience/a relative. If still many candidates have the same scores then candidates having higher language scores and more years of work experience will be prioritized by SINP.
