Saskatchewan has issued 596 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence in its first Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand draws of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 362 invitations went to candidates\u00a0in the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)\u2019s\u00a0Express Entry sub-category<\/a>, which is linked to the\u00a0federal Express Entry system<\/a>\u00a0and allows Saskatchewan to nominate eligible candidates for permanent residence.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who receive a provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 points toward their\u00a0Express Entry ranking score<\/a>, which effectively assures an invitation from the Government of Canada to apply for permanent residence.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates must have work experience in a high-skilled occupation found on Saskatchewan\u2019s\u00a0In-Demand Occupations List<\/a>, among other eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan also issued 234 invitations to\u00a0Occupation In-Demand<\/a>\u00a0candidates. This sub-category is not linked to the federal Express Entry system and is open to foreign workers with work experience in one of Saskatchewan\u2019s in-demand occupations, among other criteria.<\/p>\n

A job offer from a Saskatchewan employer is not required in order to be eligible for either the Express Entry or In-Demand Occupation sub-category.<\/p>\n

The selection process for both the Express Entry and In-Demand Occupation operates on an\u00a0Expression of Interest<\/a>(EOI) basis.<\/p>\n

Immigration candidates who would like to be considered for immigration through either sub-category must first create an EOI profile and provide the requested information on their education, work experience, proficiency in English or French and other factors.<\/p>\n

Profiles are given\u00a0a score<\/a>\u00a0based on the answers provided and those with 60 points or more are entered into the pool of eligible candidates for either the Express Entry or Occupation In-Demand sub-category.<\/p>\n

The highest-ranked are then drawn from the pool of candidates through\u00a0regular draws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lowest score drawn in the January 16 Express Entry draw was 63 and the lowest-ranked Occupation In-Demand candidate had a score of 66.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
