Can I get a SINP nomination with 66 points for Saskatchewan?

by Nationwide Visas Canada Immigration Services

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program, or SINP, is widely used by those who desire to immigrate to Saskatchewan. Provincial nominee programs (PNPs), such as the Saskatchewan PNP, may make it simpler for applicants to move to Canada more swiftly than federal Canadian immigration systems. If they opt to apply through this provincial nominee program, Saskatchewan PNP applicants must intend to live in the province of Saskatchewan. As you may see below, there are numerous categories under the Saskatchewan PNP for which foreign nationals are eligible to apply. The Saskatchewan Provincial Government will put forth suitable individuals, thereby endorsing their immigration to Canada and particularly to Saskatchewan. Applicants receive a provincial nomination certificate after the province has nominated them; the federal government must receive this document along with the application for Canadian permanent residence status.

A candidate can build a profile and submit an application to the express entry pool of the Saskatchewan Nominee Program, a points-based system, to show interest in the program.

Minimum eligibility for Saskatchewan PNP

The following criteria must be met in order to be qualified for Saskatchewan express entry:

For the language proficiency test, you need an IELTS score of at least 7 on each band.

You must have completed at least one year of post-secondary training or education that is on par with the educational system in Canada.
The field of your professional experience should match the field of your academic training.
If you currently reside in Canada, you must have proof of residency.
Along with the settlement plan, you must show that there are enough funds to cover the payment.
You must receive a minimum SINP point assessment score of 60 out of 100.

CRS score for SINP Latest draw

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) invited 760 skilled workers with scores of 69. The most recent wave of invites was directed at skilled workers who qualified for Express Entry and the Occupation In-Demand subcategories. These applicants were picked based on their prior employment in one of 16 carefully specified professions.

On September 06, Saskatchewan conducted two back-to-back draws on the same day inviting 760 candidates in total.

The first draw invited 377 Express Entry and Occupation in-demand candidates. 159 ITAs were issued to Express Entry candidates under certain NOC codes, requiring a minimum score of 69. 218 ITAs were issued to Express Entry candidates under certain NOC codes, requiring a minimum score of 69.

On the same day for the second draw Saskatchewan invited 383 candidates, with 142 Express Entry candidates and 240 Occupation In-Demand candidates. The minimum score to receive ITA for this draw was 60.

The recent Saskatchewan draw's invitees may now submit a nomination application to the province. Successful candidates will be invited to submit an application for permanent residence in Canada.

Saskatchewan Occupations In-Demand list and Express Entry

The International Skilled Worker category includes the subcategories of Express Entry and Occupations in Demand in Saskatchewan. The ensuing application process for permanent residence is the key distinction between the two subcategories' eligibility requirements.

The in-demand stream in Saskatchewan functions as a foundation provincial nominee program. As a result, applicants do not need to fulfil all Express Entry requirements because SINP processes applications independently of the Express Entry system. However, to qualify for the Express Entry subcategory, applicants must also have an active profile in the pool and match the requirements of one of the Federal Express Entry classes.

In order to submit an Expression of Interest to the government, profiles in both subcategories must score at least 60 points on Saskatchewan's distinctive points assessment grid. Those who fulfil the minimal draw requirements may be invited to submit an application for provincial nomination to Saskatchewan.

Successful applicants may receive an additional 600 points toward their CRS score if they apply under the Express Entry subcategory. They will consequently get an Invitation to Apply on their Express Entry profile, and the ensuing permanent residence application can be qualified for quick processing.

The Occupations in Demand stream invites candidates to file a non-Express Entry PNP permanent residence application. This application typically takes longer to process than Express Entry.
