Saskatchewan Invites 452 in Latest Skilled Worker Draw

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has invited 452 candidates in their most recent International Skilled Worker draw. The draw targeted individuals eligible under the Occupation In-Demand and Express Entry sub-categories.

The minimum points requirement has decreased from SINP’s previous draw, which targeted candidates with a score of at least 77. This draw also issued a significantly higher volume of invitations from previous draws; SINP has not issued this many invitations in a single draw since February 2021.

August 5th SINP draw results:

SINP Occupations in Demand subcategory 

Express Entry subcategory

Invitees in this draw must have an Education Credential Assessment and experience in one of the 65 targeted occupations.

How do Saskatchewan’s Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand subcategories differ?

Saskatchewan’s Express Entry and Occupations in-Demand sub-categories both fall under the International Skilled Worker category. The two are essentially identical, the main difference being the subsequent permanent residence application process.

Saskatchewan’s in-Demand stream operates as a base provincial nominee program. This means SINP processes the application outside of the Express Entry system and applicants do not need to meet all Express Entry requirements.

In contrast, the Express Entry subcategory requires applicants to meet the requirements of the one of the Federal Express Entry classes and have an active profile in the pool.

Profiles in both sub-categories are ranked by Saskatchewan’s unique points assessment grid and must meet a minimum of 60 points to submit an Expression of Interest to the province.

Applicants that meet the minimum draw requirements may receive an invitation to apply to Saskatchewan for provincial nomination.

Successful candidates that apply under the Express Entry subcategory may receive an additional 600 points toward their CRS score. As a result, they will receive an Invitation to Apply on their Express Entry profile and the subsequent permanent residence application may be eligible for expedited processing.

Applicants who receive an invitation under the Occupations in Demand stream are invited to submit a non-Express Entry PNP permanent residence application. Unlike Express Entry, this application is generally subject to longer processing times.
