Saskatchewan’s recent draw invited 252 candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence. This draw was the first from the province since Canada put in place travel restrictions into the country in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Candidates were invited under the International Skilled Worker Category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). This draw saw candidates invited through two distinct subcategories: Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand. To be invited, candidates needed to have submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. Profiles are then selected based on a candidate’s potential to thrive in Saskatchewan. Five factors are considered: education, language ability, work experience, age, and connections to the province. The province uses its Points Assessment Grid to give candidates a score out of 100 based on the aforementioned five factors. The minimum required score for the May 28 round was 78.
