Saskatchewan Issued Invitations To Candidates Having Work Experience

Saskatchewan is a Canadian province with many employment opportunities for job seekers. The province has a thriving economy due to the presence of the oil sector, natural gas, potash mine, and robust agricultural industry. Individuals can settle in Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) draw. It has recently conducted a SINP draw on August 27 by inviting 570 candidates. The province has issued invitations through the Occupations-In Demand sub-category of the SINP’s International Skilled Worker category. Candidates who have received invitations from Saskatchewan required Educational Credential assessments. Apart from that, they needed a score of at least 69 points in the Expression of Interest profile. Furthermore, if candidates had a CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) of at least 8, a minimum of 10 years of work experience, and connections to Saskatchewan, they received an invitation with 68 points. Also, the province has a list of 50 eligible occupations. So, only those candidates were invited who had work experience from one of the listed occupations. Some of the occupations are financial managers, human resource professionals, occupational therapists, and others.

SINP: Occupations In-Demand

Immigration candidates do not need an Express Entry profile while applying through the Occupations In-Demand immigration category of the SINP. Highly skilled workers with work experience in one of the eligible occupations can apply for a provincial nomination through this sub-category.

SINP Application Process

The first step for applying to SINP is submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) which acts as a confirmation of your choice to settle in the province of Saskatchewan. Thereafter, the submitted EOI profiles are reviewed by the immigration authorities of the province. On the basis of their profiles, candidates are awarded a score out of 100. This scoring system is administered by the subcategory of SNIP- International Skilled Worker (ISW). ISW has a Points Assessment Grid wherein the scores are given by evaluating some parameters such as age, language proficiency, education, skilled work experience, and connections to Saskatchewan. After this process, the highest-scoring candidates are invited to apply for the provincial nomination. So far Saskatchewan has issued 3,256 invitations through the two subcategories of SINP: Occupations In-Demand and Saskatchewan’s Express Entry.
