The Saskatchewan Express Entry category will add 775 additional immigrant nominees to the SINP, bringing the total number of SINP nominations up to 5,500 for 2015. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has committed to processing these applications within six months or less, which makes the new category an attractive option for potential immigrants.
“What this is going to allow is 775 new positions for Saskatchewan, which means that individuals seeking to move to Saskatchewan — primarily high-skilled individuals with significant work experience, high language skills, well-educated — are going to be able to move more expeditiously through the system,” says Saskatchewan Minister of Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training, Jeremy Harrison.
The category is targeted at individuals around the world who have post-secondary education and training in occupations that are in demand in the province.
