What is International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer?
Employment Offer is a category for skilled workers overseas who hold a job offer in a skilled occupation from a Saskatchewan employer. Applicants must score at least 60 points on the points assessment and intend to live and work permanently in the province. This stream is not limited to a specific occupation list and covers a wide range of skilled occupations (TEER 0, 1, 2 and 3), which makes it a practical way to turn a job offer from a Saskatchewan employer into permanent residence.
Eligibility Requirements for Employment Offer
You may be eligible to apply if you live outside Canada, or hold legal status in Canada (refugee claimants excluded), and meet the following requirements.
Points Assessment
You must score at least 60 points out of 110 on the SINP points assessment grid. Points are assessed on five factors: education, work experience, language ability, age, and connection to Saskatchewan.
Job Offer Requirements
- You hold a job offer for permanent, full-time employment from a Saskatchewan employer.
- The occupation falls under NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.
- The employer is registered with the SINP and holds a valid Employer Position Assessment (EPA) for the position.
Applicable Skill Levels (TEER)
Skill levels are defined as follows within the National Occupational Classification (NOC), Canada’s occupational classification system.
| Skill Level 0 | Business owners, company executives and management occupations |
|---|---|
| Skill Level 1 | Professional occupations that usually require a university or graduate degree |
| Skill Level 2 | Technical occupations that usually require college completion or two or more years of apprenticeship training, and supervisory occupations |
| Skill Level 3 | Intermediate technical occupations that usually require college completion, less than two years of apprenticeship training, or more than six months of on-the-job training |
Work Experience
You must have at least one year of work experience in total in the occupation you are applying under, within the past 10 years.
Language Ability
You need a score of CLB 4 or higher on an English or French language test designated by the immigration authorities, taken within two years before the date of application. Please use the table below to check whether your score meets CLB 4. Note that regulated occupations may require a higher score.
| Test | Language | Reading | Writing | Listening | Speaking | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLB 4 | IELTS | English | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 4.0 |
| CELPIP | English | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | |

| TCF | French | 342-374 | 4-5 | 331-368 | 4-5 |
Education
You must have completed post-secondary education (university, college, etc.) after high school. For education obtained outside Canada, an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from a designated organization must be submitted. Depending on the occupation, a Saskatchewan professional licence may also be required.
