Refer to pages 22 to 25 of Application guide file, 2282 is not a regulated occupation and you don't need to provide license. About your education and your work experience, I think when your current job is belong to NOC 2282 and you have enough experience in 2282 field then your file is OK.
Thanks for the reply VictorPapa. I was really worried because I found some info from the "SINP Aspirants 2014 Lets CONNECT HERE" forum
This one here was posted by
shallowpurple - can't find anywhere in the forum whether his application was
approved/denied
"I have applied for NOC 2173 Software Engineers and Designers in SINP 2014 and recently got this letter:
Regulated Occupation: Your education and occupation are related to a profession in Saskatchewan which requires mandatory (compulsory) certification or licensing. Proof ofeligibility for Saskatchewan licensure from the regulatory body is required as part of the SINP application. For more information, please see the following link saskimmigrationcanada.ca/ismy-
occupation-regulated/ Please provide proof of eligibility for Saskatchewan licensure from the licensure from the regulatory body within 45 days from date of this letter.
AFAIK, 2173 Software engineer does NOT come under a regulated profession. It is an Information technology job (IT).
Regarding my eduction, my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, but I have being working as Software Engineer for more than 10 years and I recently got a masters degree in Software Engineering from USA.
Considering all of this, please reconsider and remove the requirement for mandatory certification or licensing."

"Hey guys,
I am a Software Engineer and I have about 8 years of experience in Computer Programming.
I have applied for SINP under NOC 2174 which is a "non-regulated" occupation, but yesterday, they sent me a new document update request and asked me for "proof of eligibility for Saskatchewan licensure" from the applicable regulatory body... As I said my occupation is not regulated and they should not ask me for license!
Here is their exact request:
According to SINP criteria, if your occupational education is in a regulated profession or compulsory apprenticeship trade, you will be required to obtain the appropriate Saskatchewan licensure as part of the initial application to SINP. Please provide proof of eligibility for Saskatchewan licensure from the applicable regulatory body.
Is there any applicant like me under this NOC code? Should I make a complaint against their request?
Any advice will be appreciated...
P.S. I have only 45 days to provide this document but the regulatory body's website mentioned it takes about 1 year to process the case!!!"
Now, I found this info posted by
sujwal.
"My education was also software engineering and got nominated accordingly, but they didnt ask for licence."
I really hope and pray that you are right, VictorPapa.
