For the future aspirant intending to apply in 2016
We all know Saskatchewan accept a limited number of application each year with their world popular category "international skilled worker - occupation in demand". We also know it's a unique scheme that has many benefit including a lightening fast application process in CIC stage because of SINP's transparent selection process. To get SINP nomination sometime can be very tricky.
From my side there are some Basic but MUST have rules of getting SINP Nomination.
1) Make sure you have enough points which is now 60 to get yourself into the pool.
2) Remember, you MUST have maintained the required fund for at least last three months from the date of your submission. Without this you WON'T get nomination. SINP is very strict on settlement fund. Don't waste a slot if your don't have this. Leave it for others who deserve.
3) If your occupation is NOT related to your filed of study than forget about SINP. No point of applying and wasting the slot.
4) If your occupation is regulated and required license and you DON'T have license than you WON'T get the nomination. Again, forget about SINP and leave this slot for deceiving candidate.
5) Send ONLY a complete application. Recent trend shows that SINP is now very strict about the application compliance. If it's not complete your application will be Returned. Any nonsense excuse like " There were no option to upload " will NOT work.
6) Whatever the slot is, 500 or 1000. Remember it fills up very quickly. To get it cracked it's always advisable to upload all required documents into their online portal and wait for the new scheme to launch. They normally stats accepting files of occupation in demand on 2nd January 8:00:00 AM Sask. time. Hit submit button just after 8:00:01. They only allow new application in a specific scheme until quota reaches so it's risk free.
**Please make sure there wasn't any policy changes or additional documents requirements in the new scheme. In case of some minimal changes update the online profile quickly before submission.
Apply for SINP nomination only if you intend to live in there. Leaving the province just after landing for no reason will cause many problem and can complicate your life in canada initially. Which wouldn't be a good starts of your new journey.
Go thru the SINP guideline very carefully. Study beforehand to avoid disappointments.
Wish you all the future Saskatchewanian a very best of luck.
Thank you everyone for your interest in Saskatchewan.
