Saskatchewan invited 452 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on August 5.

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) issued invitations through the International Skilled Worker category. Of those invited, 171 candidates may be eligible for the Express Entry sub-category of the SINP. The remaining 281 candidates received invitations through the Occupations In-Demand sub-category.

All invited candidates needed a minimum Expression of Interest (EOI) score of 73, regardless of the stream they were from.

In addition, candidates need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to show their foreign education is comparable to the Canadian standard. Invited candidates also needed work experience in one of sixty-five (65) occupations.

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes that were included in this draw are listed below.

0013, 0014, 0016, 0114, 0121, 0421, 0423, 0621, 0651, 0711, 0712, 0821, 0911, 1121, 1122, 1123, 1221, 1222, 1224, 1241, 1243, 1252, 2131, 2142, 2144, 2151, 2212, 2223, 2225, 2231, 2232, 2241, 2242, 2243, 2244, 2252, 2253, 2254, 2261, 2263, 2264, 3211, 3215, 3234, 4152, 4153, 4156, 4161, 4162, 4164, 4165, 4166, 4169, 4212, 6316, 7202, 7231, 7236, 7237, 7241, 7312, 7321, 7381, 7384, 9232.

The Occupations In-Demand sub-category is a base Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) which means it is open to candidates without an Express Entry profile. It is for skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation in Saskatchewan who do not yet have a job offer in the province.

The Express Entry sub-category is an enhanced PNP, meaning it is linked to the federal Express Entry system. Candidates in this sub-category must also create an EOI profile for Saskatchewan to be considered in an invitation round.
