On April 22, Saskatchewan invited 269 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination. After being nominated, the invited candidates will become one step closer to Canadian permanent.
Invitations were only sent to candidates who could be eligible for a nomination through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), specifically the International Skilled Worker category. Out of invited, 130 candidates may be eligible for the SINP’s Express Entry subcategory, while 139 people may be nominated for the Occupations In-Demand subcategory.
In order to be invited, candidates must have an Expression of Interest (EOI) score of at least 70, irrespective of the stream. They also required Educational Credential Assessments to prove that their international education met Canadian standards.
It is also required to obtain work experience in any of the 61 in-demand occupations which is listed on the government webpage.
About the Occupations In-Demand subcategory
Those who do not have an Express Entry profile can apply under the Occupations In-Demand sub-category.
Experienced workers in an in-demand occupation and not having a job offer in the province are eligible to apply.
Though, foreign nationals are required to create an EOI profile through the SINP’s online application system to apply for Canadian immigration through this sub-category.
Candidates will be assessed based on their work, experience, education, language proficiency, age, and connections in the province. They are then given a score out of 100 based on the SINP’s International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid. The top-scoring applicants are then invited to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence in Canada.
Express Entry manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s main economic-class immigration programs, i.e.: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class.
Those having an Express Entry profile are also required to create EOI profiles for Saskatchewan to be considered for an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination.
Candidates with Express Entry profiles will be rewarded with an additional 600 points in their CRS score for receiving a provincial nomination from the province of Saskatchewan.
