Saskatchewan Held New Provincial Nominee Draw

Several immigration candidates were anxiously waiting for the Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program draw. The province has, finally, released the details of its latest PNP draw held on May 28.  Saskatchewan has invited 252 immigration candidates, having work experience in any of the 44 required occupations, to apply for a provincial nomination. Invitations were issued through the Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand subcategories of the International Skilled Worker category of the SINP. 

Procedure for applying to the SINP

The first step for SINP is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) which acts as a confirmation of your choice to settle in the province of Saskatchewan.  Thereafter, the EOI profiles submitted by the candidates are reviewed by the immigration authorities of the province. A candidate is given a score out of 100 on the basis of his or her profile. The scoring system is administered by the subcategory of SNIP- International Skilled Worker (ISW).  Also Read: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Gateway to move to Canada ISW has a Points Assessment Grid in which the scores are given by evaluating certain factors 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.

SINP: Express Entry

The Express Entry sub-category of the SINP is aligned with the federal government’s Express Entry system. In the latest draw, Saskatchewan has invited 127 candidates from the Express Entry pool. The minimum score required on the Points Assessment Grid in order to get an invitation through the express entry stream was 78. Moreover, candidates in the express entry pool will get 600 points extra added to their CRS scores, if they successfully secure nomination from the province of Saskatchewan. 

SINP: Occupations In-Demand

Those candidates who do not have a profile in the express entry pool are permitted to apply under this category. Saskatchewan has issued 125 invitations to the Occupations In-Demand candidates. They required a score of 78 points in the Points Assessment Grid in order to be invited by Saskatchewan.
