Saskatchewan’s International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand Immigration Category Reopened on 04 October for 500 New Applications

On 04 October 2016, the International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand sub-category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) opened to accept 500 new applications.

This category enables skilled workers with experience in an in-demand occupation in Saskatchewan to apply for a provincial nomination certificate, after which they can use it for permanent residence.

In this case, candidates are not required to hold a job offer to apply under this category. However, applicants are expected to be highly skilled in an in-demand occupation available in the province.

During the current year, the SINP sub-category has opened a few times..Therecitess. Most of Auguste’s applications were classified in a day or so.

The International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand sub-category is a ‘base’ sub-category, which implies it is not in agreement with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system.

All individuals who are not eligible for Express Entry due to language ability, as well as those who are eligible but have not yet received an invitation to apply for permanent residence, are free to use the SINP sub-category.

Note – On the morning of 04 October 2016, the SINP website stated that Saskatchewan’s International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand Immigration Category has reopened to accept fresh applications.

However, when the Visas Abroad news team contacted the SINP, the staff confirmed that there was an error in updating the notice, as the Express Entry sub-category had not reopened at all.
