Saskatchewan Occupations In-Demand Sub-Category Reopens

The International Skilled Worker - Occupations In-Demand sub-category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) reopened for 500 new applications on January 4, 2017. This SINP sub-category allows skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation to make an application for a provincial nomination certificate, which is then followed by an application for Canadian permanent residence. Interestingly, applicants do not require a job offer in order to make an application.

This is a ‘base’ sub-category, meaning that it is not aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system. Consequently, it is possible that individuals who are not eligible for Express Entry (for example, because of language ability) — as well as individuals who are eligible for Express Entry but who have so far not received an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence — may be eligible. Among other eligibility requirements, applicants must be highly-skilled in an in-demand occupation in the province. The current list contains 21 occupations across a range of industries, notably in engineering, trades, agriculture, health care, and IT. A full list of in-demand occupations may be found below.

Furthermore, it should be noted that this sub-category opened on numerous occasions throughout 2016. Typically, the intake cap is reached quickly, often within days, or even hours. The fact that this sub-category has reopened again so early in 2017 suggests that Saskatchewan will look to welcome many new applications this year too. 

Saskatchewan, with its high standard of living and plentiful employment opportunities, has become an increasingly popular immigration destination over recent years.
