Saskatchewan is the province people mean when they say a nomination without a job offer is still possible. Both International Skilled Worker categories — Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand — work off an in-demand occupation list and a published 110-point grid, and neither requires an employer to sign anything.
You need 60 of 110 points to be eligible, but 60 is a floor, not a target: Saskatchewan invites from the top down, so what matters is where you sit relative to everyone else in that draw. The checker on this site scores you against the real grid, line by line, so you can see exactly where your points come from.
The catch is intake. Saskatchewan reserves roughly half its nominations for priority sectors, added tech to that list in 2026, and pauses intake without notice. A category that was open last month can be closed today, and your occupation being on the list is the thing this tool cannot verify for you.
Occupations In-Demand is the base version: no Express Entry profile needed, and it leads to a paper-based permanent residence application. The Express Entry category is the enhanced version, and it is the one that carries the 600 CRS points.

These are the conditions we are able to summarise. What decides your actual outcome is the province's own points grid, its current in-demand occupation list, and whether intake is even open this week — none of which we can verify for you. Read the current rules on the official Saskatchewan page →
