Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program: 858 ITA Sent to Express Entry and Occupation In-demand Applicants

858 ITA Sent to Express Entry and Occupation In-demand Applicants

Saskatchewan released yet another important draw to eligible candidates, via its Express Entry and Occupation In-demand sub-categories.

The 858 Invitation to Apply (ITA’s) issued by Saskatchewan on October 31 was the sixth in the series since the last month through sent via the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program or the SINP stream, which does not require an employment offer from an employer in Saskatchewan or any Canadian work experience to become eligible.

The Express Entry sub-category for the province of Saskatchewan is directly linked with the federal Express Entry program, which manages the candidates in the pool under Canada’s three Federal High Skilled Immigration categories – the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and the Canadian Experience Class.

The Occupation In-demand subcategory is available for those immigration candidates who do not have their profile in the Express Entry.

More than 4,700 invitation send across 11 draws since September 25

Since September 25, SINP has held a total of six selection rounds under its Express Entry sub-category and five via occupation-in demand stream.

The provincial government of Saskatchewan was able to issue a total of 4,704 ITA’s to candidates under both the sub-categories of Express Entry and Occupation In-demand.

Further, these recently held draws followed the new approach being adopted by the SINP for all those occupations that are considered valid under both the sub-categories. Both of these sub-categories need a minimum of one-year work experience under an in-demand occupation across Saskatchewan that should be necessarily be related to your field of study, along with other eligibility criteria.

The SINP’s decision to move from the limited In-Demand Occupations List to Excluded occupations List during mid-September dramatically contributed towards expanding the total number of eligible occupations from just 19 to more than 200.

The draw which held on October 31 issued invitations to applicants in total 58 occupations that includes human resource professionals,consultants, Information system consultants and analysts, Database analysts, data administrators, technicians, Drafting technologists, aircraft inspectors and aircraft mechanics.

Expression of Interest

In order to get considered under the provincial nomination program for Saskatchewan through either of the sub-categories, candidates should register an Expression of Interest (EOI) with Saskatchewan.

Eligible candidates that are under both sub-categories are given a score out of 100, on the basis of the SINP’s International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid, which takes into consideration factors that include age, work experience, education, English and French proficiency and ant connections with Saskatchewan.

The highest-ranked candidates in the pool receive an invitation to apply via regular draws that are conducted by SINP.

All the eligible candidates that have applied through Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand streams and have a score of 69 or more than that are issued an invitation to apply in the draw which held on October 31. However, the SINP also selected eligible applicants who score 68 points and had 10 years of work experience and language proficiency score equivalent to CLB 7 or higher in English or French.

Express Entry Candidates who have applied for and also received a provincial nomination from Saskatchewan are granted extra 600 points in their total Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and therefore are guaranteed an ITA to further apply for the Canadian Permanent Residency.
