Candidates who have applied for a provincial nomination for Canada permanent residence through Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)’s Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand subcategories were invited in the latest round of provincial draw held on September 25th.
A total of 769 immigrants were invited in the first draw held after SINP dramatically increased the number of high skilled occupations under both categories – Express Entry and Occupation In-demand from 19 to 218 eligible occupations. Of the invited candidates, a total of 100 occupations were represented. With civil and chemical engineers, medical radiation technologists, psychologists, and information systems analysts and consultants were all included.
SINP’s Express entry subcategories allow the SINP to search for the skilled immigrants in the federal government’s Express pool. Candidates who have registered under Canada’s three major skilled immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) are submitted together in the express pool. For an express entry candidate to land a provincial nomination certificate, they are awarded 600 CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) points. These many points are more than sufficient to land an ITA (Invitation to Apply) to apply for Canada PR Visa to the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada).
Express Entry candidates must register themselves with a separate Expression of Interest (EOI) with SINP in order to be considered for provincial nomination. SINP EOI’s system awards points to the candidate’s profile based on the factors like education, work experience, connection to the province and language proficiency in English or French. Profile with highest scores is then invited to apply for provincial nomination through regular held provincial draw from SINP’s express pool.
The minimum score for the express entry candidates that were invited was 70 points and for Occupation in-demand candidates it was 79 points.
To be eligible under either of the sub-categories, candidates are required to have one year of work experience in an eligible occupation, among other major criteria. Having a job offer from an eligible employer of the province or Canadian work experience is not mandatory.
Out of 769 invitations, 365 invitations were issued to Occupation in-demand candidates and remaining 404 invitations to the Express Entry candidates. Sept 25th draw is the largest since SINP has switched its both sub-categories: Express Entry and Occupation in-demand to the EOI system in July 2018.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
