In the latest Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program(SINP) Expression of Interest draw held on May 28, a total of 252 immigration candidates received invitations to apply for provincial nomination. The invited candidates belonged to the International Skilled Worker category and they received invitations through its two sub-categories– Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand.
The May 28 draw is the first PNP draw conducted by Saskatchewan ever since Canada introduced travel restrictions in the wake of COVID-19 outbreak.
SINP Expression of Interest
To receive an invitation in a SINP Expression of Interest(EoI) draw, a candidate must first submit an Expression of Interest to the SINP. The province selects candidates to be nominated from these profiles based on their demonstrated ability to establish themselves economically in the province. This ability is assessed on the basis of various human capital factors such as age, education, language proficiency and previous connections to the province. Each profile is then awarded a score out of 100 on the International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid. The candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for a provincial nomination from Saskatchewan. In the May 28 draw, the minimum score required to be invited was 78 for both subcategories.
SINP Express Entry sub-category
In the latest SINP Expression of Interest draw, 127 Express Entry candidates received invitations to apply for provincial nomination. To be invited under the Express Entry sub-category of SINP, the candidate must have an active Express Entry profile and must have submitted an Expression of Interest to the SINP. Those candidates who receive a provincial nomination from Saskatchewan will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score points added to their total score, which guarantee them an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
SINP Occupations In-Demand sub-category
Those candidates who do not have an Express Entry profile may receive an invitation under Occupations In-Demand sub-category of SINP. In the May 28 draw, 125 Occupations In-Demand candidates received invitations to apply. The draw targeted candidates with work experience in one of the 44 targeted occupations.
