Saskatchewan’s new Expression of Interest System

Saskatchewan’s new Expression of Interest system for Express Entry, Occupations In-Demand sub-categories has more benefits that the previous first-come, first-served model.

The first-come, first-served model that was used for the international skilled worker sub-categories had prevented many qualified candidates from applying as they missed the date for submitting their applications.
The Occupations In-Demand sub-category is for eligible skilled workers who have the required amount of work experience in one of Saskatchewan’s in-demand occupations.
Applicants who are interested need to register a profile with the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). They are provided with a ranking score that is based on their answers to questions relating to work experience, education and English or French language proficiency, and a couple other factors.
Applicants who score 60 points on Saskatchewan’s assessment grating are entered into its pool of candidates for the Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand sub-category. Applicants who are selected are invited to apply for a provincial nomination through the usual draws.
