Saskatchwan PNP draw: 269 invited

Saskatchewan invited immigration candidates through its Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand streams.

Saskatchewan invited 269 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on April. If invited candidates receive the nomination, they will be one step closer to Canadian permanent residence. 

The invitations went to candidates who may be eligible for a nomination from the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), specifically from the International Skilled Worker category. Of those invited, 130 may be eligible for the SINP’s Express Entry subcategory, and 139 may be nominated through the Occupations In-Demand sub-category.

About the Occupations In-Demand subcategory

Subcategory The Occupations In-Demand sub-category is a base Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), meaning it is open to immigration candidates who do not have an Express Entry profile.

This sub-category is for highly skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation in Saskatchewan, who do not yet have a job offer in the province.

In order to apply for Canadian immigration through this sub-category, foreign nationals need to create an EOI profile through the SINP’s online application system.

Saskatchewan’s EOI system allows the province to select immigration candidates that have the potential to thrive in the prairie province. Candidates will be assessed on how their work experience, education, language ability, age, and connections to the province demonstrate their ability to settle in Saskatchewan.

They are then given a score out of 100 based on the SINP’s International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then issued an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
