Saskatchewan issued 84 new invitations to candidates in its Entrepreneur category in a draw held November 21.
The average score for this invitation round was 120, with scores ranging from a low of 115 to a high of 135.
Saskatchewan's Entrepreneur Category is for eligible candidates who would like to establish, acquire or partner in a business that meets specified provincial criteria.
In order to be eligible, interested immigrant entrepreneurs must first submit an Expression of Interest to the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).
An EOI is a pre-application that screens interested candidates for eligibility and provides them with a ranking score based on the Entrepreneur Category's points assessment grid.
Entrepreneurs who are invited to apply for an SINP Entrepreneur Approval Letter and are subsequently approved can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a Temporary Work Permit.
Those who fulfill the terms of their Business Performance Agreement with the SINP for at least six months can then apply to the SINP for a provincial nomination for permanent residence.
