September 15 - Saskatchewan issues 621 invitations in PNP draw

In a new Expression of Interest draw on September 15, Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) invited 621 candidates for provincial nomination for permanent residence in three tech occupations from the International Skilled Worker category. All the invited candidate had created an expression of interest profile with SINP.

The breakdown of the invitations is as follows:

Express Entry – 455

Occupations in-Demand – 166

The minimum score in both categories was 68 points.

The candidates required to have work experience in any of the below three NOC codes:

• Computer programming and interactive media developers (NOC 2174)

• Web designers and developers (NOC 2175)

• Software engineers and designers (NOC 2173)

Candidates who had an EOI for the province of Saskatchewan and also had their profiles in the federal Express Entry system; and on the SINP assessment grid had 68 points were invited in this draw.

SINP limits the selection of EOIs by occupation so nominations do not exceed employment demand.

The size and frequency of EOI Selections are based on labour market need; provincial priorities, and the number of applications processed since the last EOI Selection. Selections will take place every two months, at a minimum.
