A few examples of qualified occupations consist of corporate sales supervisors, data scientists, electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians, advertising and marketing and advertising managers, amongst others.

About the Occupations In-Demand sub-category

The Occupations In-Demand sub-category is a base Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which means it is open to immigration candidates who do not have a national Express Entry profile. Saskatchewan latest PNP Draw 2021 invites immigrants for provincial nomination.

This sub-category is for highly skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation in Saskatchewan, who don’t yet have a job offer in the province.

In order to apply for Canadian immigration through this sub-category, foreign nationals will need to create an EOI profile via the SINP’s online application system.

Saskatchewan’s EOI system allows the state to pick immigration candidates which possess the potential to thrive in the prairie province. Candidates will be assessed on how their work experience, education, language ability, age, and connections to the state demonstrate their capacity to settle into life in Saskatchewan.

They are then given a score out of 100 based on the SINP’s International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid.

The highest-scoring candidates are issued an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
