hi Everyone,
My NOC is 2173.
CRS 330.
Yesterday, my agent applied for SINP Occupation In-Demand sub-category on my behalf, all in hurry without knowing that I don't have any professional license. I am bit worried about it, as don't know about how much effort, money and time is required to get the ISP/ITCP certificate. I have zero idea about it.
Can anyone guide me in getting the certificate ? Any website where I can see the exam and question patterns would be appreciated.
best wishes.

Professional licensure and the SINP
For potential applicants whose occupation is on the list below, the SINP requires applicants to have obtained the proper professional licensure in order for the application to be processed to completion. However, it may be noted that an application (submitted by an applicant whose occupation requires licensure) that does not include the relevant proof of licensure may be held for processing until such proof is provided. All other required documents must be submitted, otherwise the file will be returned and the CAD $300 government processing fee may not be refunded.
The exact process of obtaining licensure depends on the occupation in question, as well as other factors, such as the applicant’s professional and/or academic background.
CICNews has contacted each organization designated by Saskatchewan for the purposes of licensure, and in the vast majority of cases it is possible for an applicant to complete the licensure process from outside Canada.
The processing times listed below for certain occupations refer to best case scenario outcomes; these were either listed on the websites of the organizations, or confirmed by the organizations when speaking to
CICNews. These processing times assume that the application is complete. Delays may occur if the organization has to wait for a third party, such an educational institution, to forward additional required documentation, such as transcripts.
“The requirements for some occupations in Saskatchewan’s updated in-demand list may seem convoluted or confusing on first glance, but when you scratch beneath the surface, the route becomes clearer,” says Attorney David Cohen.
“Saskatchewan wants newcomers in certain occupations to be fully licensed from a Canadian perspective because Saskatchewan wants these individuals to be able to enter the labour market relatively seamlessly. By beginning this process from abroad before landing in Canada, these workers will have a head start on the competition. This is likely a process that workers would have had to complete at some stage anyway, so why not start from abroad and prepare in advance of future intake period for either the base sub-category or the enhanced category aligned with Express Entry? Not only would this increase one’s chances of finding a pathway to Canada, but it would also improve career prospects in Canada, both upon initial landing and over the long term.”
