Hello @dacoffeeThe requirement does state very clearly "Computer Science engineering programs will not be considered". I don't think they are looking for engineers per se otherwise they wouldn't have explicitly mentioned it.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can apply for this being CSE engineer. But, I am yet to get a response from someone who managed PNP with CSE background. Still waiting for people to confirm.

Thanks for your reply.
As someone said in the above-shared article that we need to get the APEGS license first for NOC 2174 then only can apply to SINP ?
Kindly help on this point.
Hi,
I saw a ray of hope when I learnt SINP allows Computer Programmers (NOC Code - 2174). In the description of in-demand lists, it is mentioned:
"Computer Science engineering programs will not be considered."
Check this link for reference - https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/immigrating-to-saskatchewan/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/applicants-international-skilled-workers/sinp-in-demand-occupation-list
But, when I search the NOC database for 2174, it doesn't exclude engineering programs. It just says, "A bachelor's degree in computer science or in another discipline with a significant programming component or completion of a college program in computer science is usually required".
My B.Tech is in Computer Science and Engineering (4 years program) and I am currently a software developer (although by designation I am "Assistant Project Manager" as I have spent over 10 years in this industry).
So, am I eligible under SINP? The statement - "Computer Science engineering programs will not be considered." in throwing me off and I am very confused.
Thanks!
Hi , I am on same boat...have you got any confirmation.?I am also confused.
My NOC is 2174 and my education is Bachelor Of Engineering (Computer).
1. Computer Science Engineering and Bachelor Of Engineering (Computer) are the same or different?
2. If Bachelor Of Engineering (Computer) is not considered for NOC 2174 and If I submit EOI SINP, is there any violation or will it affect the Federal express entry profile in any way?
