(Update: Since this article was published, the SINP International Skilled Worker – Express Entry sub-category has closed for new applications.)
The Canadian province of Saskatchewan has reopened its International Skilled Worker – Express Entry immigration sub-category for 500 new applications. This popular sub-category forms part of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), through which the province welcomes new permanent residents who have the ability to settle and establish themselves economically.
News of the reopening of the Express Entry sub-category on February 14 is likely to prove popular among eligible candidates who have been waiting for the sub-category, which most recently reopened on January 4, to reopen once again. If this application intake is anything like previous intakes, it is likely that the quota of 500 applications will be filled within days, or even hours.
Through this sub-category, eligible candidates in the federal Express Entry pool may apply for a provincial nomination certificate from Saskatchewan. A provincial nomination certificate obtained through this sub-category gives the candidate 600 additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), ensuring that he or she secures an Invitation to Apply (ITA) at a subsequent draw from the pool.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible for the SINP’s International Skilled Worker – Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-category, candidates must:
- Have proof of legal status, if currently residing in Canada;

- Provide language test results from a designated testing agency that match the language level declared in their Express Entry profile;
- Have completed at least one year of post-secondary education or training which is comparable to the Canadian education system and which has resulted in a degree, diploma, certificate, or a certificate equivalent to a trade certificate;

- Have work experience in a skilled occupation in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Matrix level A, B or 0 that’s in-demand in Saskatchewan (see below);
- Obtain proof of eligibility for Saskatchewan licensure if their profession is regulated in Saskatchewan and requires mandatory (compulsory) certification or licensing;
- Hold a certificate of qualification (also known as a letter of invitation) in their skilled trade from the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship & Trade Certification Commission if their work experience is in a skilled trade;
