Saskatchewan reshaped its program for 2026 and now reserves roughly half of its provincial nominations for seven priority sectors, with a further block set aside for graduates of Saskatchewan institutions who take up work in those sectors. If your occupation sits inside a priority sector, you can often apply year-round and compete for a larger share of invitations than a general candidate.
Eligibility still runs through the Expression of Interest pool: your NOC generally needs to be TEER 0 to 3 and must not appear on the province’s excluded-occupations list, and you need at least 60 points on the grid the calculator above estimates. The priority sectors below reflect where Saskatchewan is directing nominations, but the exact occupations and reserved amounts change, so confirm the current list officially before you rely on it.

A minimum of 60 points is required under the published International Skilled Worker grid.
Meeting 60 points does not guarantee an invitation or nomination.
Points are only one part of a provincial application. You must also satisfy the stream’s eligibility, documentation, status, occupation and employer requirements.
Saskatchewan runs one of the few provincial programs with a published pass mark. The International Skilled Worker grid awards up to 110 points across education, work experience inside and outside the most recent five years, both official languages, age and Saskatchewan connections, and a registration needs at least 60 points before it can be considered. That structure makes the calculator especially useful for planning, because you can see exactly which factor closes the gap to 60 when a first estimate falls short.
Two factors carry unusual weight compared with other provinces. A close family relative living in Saskatchewan contributes 20 points on its own, and a high-skilled employment offer contributes 30, so candidates with either connection often clear the threshold even with moderate language results. Candidates without a connection usually need strong education and CLB 7 or higher to reach a competitive position, and should confirm that their occupation is not on the excluded list before relying on any score.
