Hi All, any hopes of having a draw today ??? Waiting at 438 so back to back draws might give some relief

 

[Adlib007]

I totally understand how you feel. I'm at 443 and the wait is hard. Lol.
I'm hoping we'll get back to back draws just like it happened around this time last year.
Just hang in there and expect the best.

Same at 443. Already missed the ITA twice by one point when I was at 441. If there is no draw today and next week, that will be a heart break.

NOC 6221 here and I am running out of options as to where to apply as PNP

Don't think any one can apply in Saskatchewan if the Job experience is not in Occupation in Demand list. The following condition is written in the guideline-

• Have work experience in a high skilled occupation in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Matrix level "A", "B" or "0" that’s included on the SINP In-Demand Occupation List. https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/immigrating-to-saskatchewan/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/applicants-international-skilled-workers/international-skilled-worker-saskatchewan-express-entry

Your work experience must be in a high skilled occupation (NOC "0", "A" or "B") that is considered to be in-demand in Saskatchewan. Please see the SINP In-Demand Occupation List for the list of eligible occupations. https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/immigrating-to-saskatchewan/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/applicants-international-skilled-workers/international-skilled-worker-saskatchewan-express-entry/required-documents-for-saskatchewan-express-entry

You have to be in the express entry pool to get SINP and to be elegible for EE you have to have experience in NOC 0 A or B. Otherwise you will fall into one of the other categories. It has nothing to do with your work experience being in demand that is a seperate category

So whats actually the difference between International Skilled Worker: Occupation In-Demand & International Skilled Worker: Saskatchewan Express Entry ?

From what is on their website the eligebility criteria are the same. My guess would be that you are more likely to be sucessful with the in-demand category and my the quota for that is higher?
But that is just a guess

The hard copy is also black and white and is no different from the emailed pdf.

Thanks so much for advising

Our consultant told us that we cannot apply and that the chances are slim because our noc is not on the in-demand list. Thank you, thought, for clearing it up. We will try to talk to him again

I feel like the way they worded it is a bit confusing. Why do they say "is closed to applications at this time" and then right afterwards say "for your application to be accepted..."? It seems to imply that one can still apply, if it is complete with all required documents.
I'm sure that's not what they mean, but the way they've written it, is confusing.
