Hello house. I'm new here, thanks for creating such a lovely forum to help/advise others. Would someone please be kind enough to provide clarifications to these questions. I'm planning to immigrate to Canada with my family under one of the programs (Federal skilled workers express entry or provincial nominee program). I've had my highest degree qualification (masters degree) evaluated by WES, I have an overall score of 7 in my IELTS. Here are my questions;
1) My educational qualifications does not match the NOC I'm looking to apply for, however, the job description, job responsibilities and job title fits the NOC perfectly well, would my educational qualification pose a problem?
For Federal Express Entry, it would not matter but with provincial nomination, it could be as I understand that some provinces usually prefer for education and job role to align. If you have enough points to scale through Federal EE that you don't need PNP, you're good to go.
2) My wife has had her masters degree evaluated by WES, but does not intend to write the IELTS test, can I still claim points from her educational qualification without having her write the test?
No, she has to do both for you to get points for spousal advantage. It's not a mix and match affair. Also, can I claim points from her age?
If she's younger, then it's better for her to be the principal applicant and you be her dependent so you can maximise the points obtainable. You can support the application by having both your ECA and IELTS done which she gains points for being younger.
3) How do I claim 600 points from a province like Saskatchewan, while I'm in the federal skilled workers express entry pool?
By applying directly to the province for provincial nomination. The steps and requirements are at Saskatchewan PNP site in several ways:

I look forward to your swift response.
Many thanks.
