The province
of Saskatchewan issued new invitations to apply (ITA) for a provincial
nomination to candidates in its International Skilled Worker immigration
category in latest round that took place on November 23. It also includes 247
invitations to candidates in the federal Express Entry system.
Another 267
invitations have been issued to Saskatchewan’s Occupation In-Demand
sub-category candidates with a minimum score of 64. However, the lowest-ranked
Express Entry candidate had a score of 63 under province’s International
Skilled Worker point grid in this latest draw.
Those Express
Entry candidates who apply for and receive a provincial nomination are awarded
an additional 600 points toward their Express Entry ranking score, which directly
increase their chances to receive an invitation from the Government of Canada
to apply for permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry selection round.
Currently
being one of the most popular immigration programs in the world; the Express
Entry system manages the pool of candidates for Canada’s three major federal
economic immigration categories — the Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSW), the
Federal Skilled Trades Class (FST) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
The Express
Entry candidates, who want to be considered for immigration to Saskatchewan, need
to register a separate profile with the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
(SINP) under its Expression of Interest (EOI) system.
The November
23 draws were the fifth for both sub-categories, i.e International Skilled
Worker and Occupation In-Demand since the province of Saskatchewan switched
them from a first-come, first-served approach to an Expression of Interest
(EOI) system in July.
Saskatchewan
has now issued a total of 3,337 invitations through its International Skilled
Worker Expression of Interest system, out of which 1,552 were issued to Express
Entry candidates while 1,785 went to Occupation In-Demand candidates.
