Saskatchewan invites 559 candidates under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) in the third major draw
The province of Saskatchewan recently held its third invitation round on October 8, sending an invite to a total of 559 more Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand applicants under the Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP). This is the third major draw conducted by Saskatchewan since it has widened the number of high-skilled occupations that are eligible in its two most prominent Canadian permanent residency programs that include Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand sub-categories. This includes an expansion from 19 high-skilled occupations to more than 200, updated last on September 18. Since then, Saskatchewan has issued a total of 1,938 invitation to apply (ITA) under both the sub-categories across three draws. This inclusion of greater number of occupations is a direct result of the decision to eliminate the SINP IN-Demand occupation List over the Excluded Occupation List, targeting candidates holding professional experience across a wide range of occupations. The eligibility of the candidate requires them to possess a minimum of one-year experience under the enlisted eligible occupation, which should be related to their field of study in both Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand sub-categories, while also completing other eligibility requirements. The SINP does not require the applicant to have a job offer from Saskatchewan or prior Canadian work experience. The ITA sent to candidates on October 8 draw has work experience under the following 15 high-skilled occupations.
