In the newly announced provincial nominee draw, the eligible candidates were invited to apply under the Saskatchewan’s Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand category

 

The provincial government of Saskatchewan held new draw on January 7, 2021.

 

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program has invited applicants from the International Skilled Worker immigration category under its two most prominent categories that are, Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand in which a total of 385 invitation to apply (ITAs) were issued to eligible candidates, who has an employment experience in the selected occupations.

 

In order to receive an invitation under this draw, candidates from the Express Entry immigration stream of the SINP are required to have submitted their EOI profiles towards the SINP. Both of these immigration categories required to have a cut-off score of at least 71 points.

 

The applicants invited under the two immigration categories although could qualify to receive an invitation with only 71 points if they possess a total of 10 years of employment experience and also a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 8 or higher in the language proficiency test along with satisfying other human capital factors to be considered in the PNP draw. There were a total of 79 occupations that were included in this particular draw under the Express Entry immigration category.

 

In order to get considered, candidates are required to have already submitted the Expression of Interest (EOI) profile towards the Saskatchewan immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

 

The provincial government of Saskatchewan uses the EOI system to send invitations to skilled candidates that have displayed the necessary potential to survive in the province to apply for their provincial nominee program for the permanent residence of Canada.

 

Interested candidates, therefore, should create and submit an EOI profile towards the provincial government and must demonstrate their ability to start their professional and personal life in Saskatchewan by sharing details about their work experience, education, English language proficiency skills, age and also any connection with the province.

 

The SINP uses these five factors to evaluate the candidates and then scoring is done out of 100 using the International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid. Those candidates who score highest are then being issued a nomination letter or an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the provincial nomination and therefore to apply for the permanent residence of Canada.

 

No job offer was required in order to get considered for the invitation from the province of Saskatchewan. However, candidates are required to have a minimum of one-year of employment experience in an eligible and in-demand occupation which again should be related to their previous field of study.

 

Invited candidates under both the immigration categories also should have completed their Education Credentials Assessment (ECA) which directly implies that how their foreign academic degrees and diplomas are comparable with respect to Canadian credentials.

 

Further, towards the end of the year 2020, the provincial government of Saskatchewan also introduced new changes in its point system grid and added more EOI points for the people who can speak English and French.

 

Express Entry Sub-Category

 

In the recent SINP draw, the province of Saskatchewan has issued a total of 148 invitations to candidates who have already submitted their profiles towards the federal Express Entry Pool.

 

The Express Entry System manages the pool of all those eligible applicants that have applied for towards the Canadian permanent residence program through three most prominent main economic class immigration programs operated by the federal government of Canada: Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

 

If applicants in the federal Express Entry pool also submitted their EOI for the Saskatchewan and they scores a point score equivalent to 68 points on the SINP point assessment grid they must have received an invitation to apply or a nomination letter in this latest draw.

 

Further, all the Express Entry candidates who apply towards the provincial nomination program and also receive a nomination letter from the provincial government of Saskatchewan are awarded an extra 600 points towards their existing Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. These extra points then effectively guarantee that the candidate will receive an invitation to apply for the Canadian permanent residence in the next Federal Express Entry Draw.

 

The same applied for candidates that have been chosen from any of the provincial nominee programs across Canada and are aligned with the Federal Express Entry System.

 

Occupation In-Demand sub-category

 

The Occupation In-Demand sub-category of the SINP PNP is valid for those immigration candidates who are not having a Federal Express Entry profile.

 

There are a total of 166 Occupations In-Demand applicants that were invited to apply for the provincial nomination program and similar to the Express Entry sub-category, these candidates also needed to have a provincial score equivalent to 68 points in order to be considered for the nomination and immigration.

 

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Providing pathways to Canada immigration

 

Yes! If the federal Express Entry is not working out due to the current pandemic situation or some specific factor then you can explore other immigration options for migrating to Canada. There are a plenty of other ways to make it happen and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one of the most prominent pathways among these alternatives to move to Canada.

 

The Federal Government of Canada is giving more power to all its provinces when it comes to selecting new foreign skilled immigrants. You should be aware that some of the provincial nominations result in an addition of 600-points towards your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of the Express Entry System but some of these PNP streams does not work in direct alignment with the larger Express Entry System.
