Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand Reopens for 1,000 Additional Applications
The Canadian province of Saskatchewan has announced that the International Skilled Worker - Occupations In-Demand sub-category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has reopened with immediate effect. As of September 21, 2015, a total of 1,000 applications will be accepted during this application intake cycle from applicants with experience in one of 57 eligible occupations. This announcement has been welcomed by many prospective applicants, as it does not require a job offer or connection to the province in order to be eligible.
To be eligible under this SINP sub-category, applicants without a Canadian job offer must:
- score a minimum of 60 points out of 100 on the point assessment grid (see below);
- have a minimum language score in English or French of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 4;
- have completed a minimum of one year of post-secondary education or training which is comparable to the Canadian education system and has resulted in a degree, diploma, certificate, or a certificate equivalent to a trade certificate (that is verifiable);
- have a minimum of one-year paid work experience in the past ten years related to their field of education or training. Work experience must be in an occupation that is considered to be in-demand in Saskatchewan (see below); and
- have proof of settlement funds and a settlement plan.
