The province of Saskatchewan invited 769 Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence in draws held September 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

The draws were the first conducted since the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)\u00a0dramatically expanded<\/a>\u00a0the number of high-skilled occupations that are eligible under its popular\u00a0Express Entry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Occupation In-Demand<\/a>\u00a0sub-categories last week, from 19 to 218.<\/p>\n

Those invited in the September 25 draws represented\u00a0100 occupations<\/a>, the SINP reported. Among those included were civil and chemical engineers, medical radiation technologists, psychologists and information systems analysts and consultants.<\/p>\n

One year of work experience in an eligible occupation related to the candidate\u2019s field of study is required in order to be considered for a provincial nomination through either sub-category, among other criteria.<\/p>\n

A job offer in Saskatchewan and Canadian work experience are not required.<\/p>\n

The September 25 draws were among the largest held by Saskatchewan since it switched its Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand sub-categories to an\u00a0Expression of Interest (EOI) system<\/a>\u00a0in July 2018.<\/p>\n

A total of 365 invitations went to Occupation In-Demand candidates and another 404 invitations were issued through the SINP\u2019s Express Entry sub-category, which is open to eligible candidates with a profile in the\u00a0federal Express Entry system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Express Entry system manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada\u2019s main Economic Class immigration categories \u2014 the \u00a0Federal Skilled Worker Class<\/a>,\u00a0Federal Skilled Trades Class<\/a>, and\u00a0Canadian Experience Class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination receive an additional 600 points towards their\u00a0ranking score<\/a>and are effectively guaranteed an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.<\/p>\n

In order to be considered for a\u00a0provincial nomination<\/a>\u00a0from Saskatchewan, Express Entry candidates must register a separate Expression of Interest with the SINP.<\/p>\n

Under the SINP\u2019s EOI system, eligible candidates are issued a score based on factors such as their education, work experience, proficiency in English or French and connections to Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n

Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for a provincial nomination through regular draws from the SINP\u2019s EOI pool.<\/p>\n

The minimum scores in the SINP\u2019s September 25 draws were 70 for Express Entry sub-category candidates and 79 for Occupation In-Demand candidates.<\/p>\n
