Saskatchewan Immigration News: The Canadian province of Saskatchewan is increasing the annual application intake thresholds.
The increase is for two popular immigration sub-categories of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), with more applications processing before the end of 2017.
increasing allocations are assigned to the SINP International Skilful Worker – Express Entry sub-category and the International Skilful Worker – Occupations In-Demand sub-category (Occupation List).
Since first being launched in 2015, both of these SINP sub-categories are proving to be popular among a diverse range of applicants.
Sub-category doesn’t require applicants to have a job offer from a Canadian employer. Successful applicants receive a provincial nomination, which may be used to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
The spouse/common-law partner of the applicant, as well as dependent children, may also be included on the application.
Applicants under sub-category must have work experience in an occupation that is in demand by Saskatchewan immigration and score at least 60 points out of 100 on the SINP assessment grid.
The Occupations In-Demand sub-category results in successful applicants obtaining a nomination certificate, which can then be used to apply for Canadian permanent residence outside the federal Express Entry immigration system.

This stream may be attractive to individuals who did not enter the Express Entry pool, as it has a lower minimum language requirement (Canadian Language Benchmark level 4) than any program managed under the Express Entry system.
The Express Entry sub-category requires candidates to have an existing Express Entry profile.
Successful applicants obtain 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, placing them at the head of the line for selection in a subsequent draw from the Express Entry pool.
After Saskatchewan Immigration selects the candidates, they can apply for permanent residence through Express Entry, with IRCC processing most applications within six months.
