Hey guys. This is a great forum as I'll be applying for this stream this April. I might have only 1 year or pgwp. Currently finishing one year certificate in SK. I had few questions:
1. If the processing takes time from SK Gvt (getting JAL, giving nomination, processing pr) and in the meanwhile my pgwp expires, will extension of pgwp work?
2. Will that mean I have to get a closed work permit with my employer? If yes then who applies for the closed permit?
Thanks

I have over 1 years experience in food industry. So, initially will opt of food service jobs. I will graduate within 4 months.
Yes, I know I need to work but maybe it is one year not six month and my code is going to be 6520 one which is most probably kitchen helper position. That’s my primary thinking I have experience in retail. Also if I get any opportunity and if it is in the job list, I can try for that too.
But as you have already gone through that process, I want to know how you managed the employer? how to talk with the employer? And do most employers know about the process or I have to let them know about each and every step, if they are willing to go through the process?

The duration depends on the stream. Since you are applying for the Hard to Fill stream, you have to work only 780 hours. Other streams have different hour criteria. Don't think about months here, that's very important. Because if you work 40 hours per week consistently, then it will take you less than 5 months to become eligible to apply for this program. So it is actually a wrong idea that you have to work 1 year. Think in working hours.Yes, I know I need to work but maybe it is one year not six month and my code is going to be 6520 one which is most probably kitchen helper position.

And sorry to break your confusion, I haven't applied for pgwp yet. If you read my previous reply, I will be graduating this April with 1 year certificate. So I was doing some prior research on this topic.

oh great then we are kind of on the same boat. And about the work duration. It is kind of confusing to be honest. At first it started with at least one year of full time work experience then again, it said six month of 780 hours work experience.
The employer requirements are throwing me off!The duration depends on the stream. Since you are applying for the Hard to Fill stream, you have to work only 780 hours.

" Employers can utilize the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot to recruit workers in select intermediate and low-skilled occupations if you demonstrate that you have attempted to find workers through domestic recruitment activities prior to hiring foreign nationals "
" Prior to submitting the Job Approval Form (JAF) to the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), you must advertise each position being recruited on SaskJobs for a minimum of FOUR CONSECUTIVE WEEKS; in the three months prior to submitting the JAF. "
Which employers will be willing to go through this hassle?!?!
Program is closed right now and under review so wait and see what new requirements are in the next few months.The employer requirements are throwing me off!

Who knows. I am tensed about my subject. Let's see where it goesProgram is closed right now and under review so wait and see what new requirements are in the next few months.
I know it's been a while since this was posted, but what was the outcome?Hi, I have a quick query. I applied under hard to fill skill pilot 2 months back and heard back nothing from them yet. Others who applied along with me got the approval. Could we contact SINP through call to check status of the application. Even my immigration consultant did not hear back anything from sinp. let me know how to proceed further - if any of you have any experience in this. Thanks
