- A Valid Job Offer in NOC 0/A/B/C occupation
- Education: Any post-secondary degree that’s 8 months or longer (outside province accepted)
- Work experience: minimum 6 months non-continuous work experience in the province (Paid co-op work experience as full-time student counted); or 6 months continuous work experience if studied outside Saskatchewan
***Work experience and education needs to match the job offer if studied outside Saskatchewan
- Language: CLB 4 if the job offer is in NOC C (not required for NOC 0/A/B)
