Saskatchewan Express Entry Sub-Category Reaches Intake Quota

The International Skilled Worker – Express Entry sub-category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has reached its intake quota of 600 new applications for the most recent application intake cycle, which began on May 16. This intake cycle was the longest for some time, as the sub-category has often reached its intake within a couple of days, or even shorter, on previous occasions.

The fact that the list of in-demand occupations was amended for the most recent cycle may have played a part in the additional time it took for the sub-category to reach its intake quota this time around. Whereas previously there were 21 occupations listed, the current list includes 17 occupations

Because this sub-category is aligned with the federal Express Entry selection system, a nomination certificate gives the candidate 600 additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and that candidate will then be in line for selection at a subsequent draw from the pool.

The SINP targets prospective immigrants with the skills and experience needed to respond to Saskatchewan’s labour market needs. As candidates for the Express Entry sub-category must be in the Express Entry pool, all candidates must be eligible for one of the three federal economic immigration programs: Federal Skilled WorkerFederal Skilled Trades, or the Canadian Experience Class.
