The Canadian province of Saskatchewan has updated its application intake thresholds for the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) for the second time in one morning. The latest modification reflects the fact that the International Skilled Workers - Occupations In-Demand sub-category of the SINP has reached its cap/limit of 500 new applications.
CanadaVisa.com had reported earlier in the day that the SINP had reopened all categories with full quotas for each category and sub-category.
This popular sub-category capped out and reopened on more than one occasion in 2015. While the SINP website states 'Remaining applications that will be accepted by the SINP in 2016' for certain categories, in 2015 the application intake thresholds for certain sub-categories were replenished during the year. This may provide cause for optimism for eligible candidates who did not manage to submit an application today, January 4, 2016.
