How the program works
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program is divided into 4 categories:
International Skilled Worker is for people who work outside of Canada in one of the skilled trades. It is the most in-demand and available
Entrepreneur
For business people who are ready to start a business in this province
Farm
For experienced farmers who wish to buy and develop a farm in Saskatchewan
A detailed description of each of these areas can be found at the appropriate link above. General points will be discussed below so that you understand the nature of the programs.
International Skilled Worker
The province's most sought-after destination due to the fact that successful immigration does not require living and working in Saskatchewan, or managing a lot of money.
This category consists of 3 parts:
Employment Offer.
Relevant for people who have an invitation to work from a Saskatchewan employer.
Occupation In-Demand.
Relevant for people who have seniority in one of the province's in-demand specialties.
Saskatchewan Express Entry.
Relevant for people who have a track record in one of the province's in-demand specialties.
There must also be a profile in Express Entry that is in the applicant pool. This means that the person meets the eligibility criteria for one of the federal programs.
In addition, each of these subcategories has its own selection criteria that must be met. One of the main ones is to score 60 points out of 100. Points are given for age, work experience, education, English or French proficiency, and a connection to the province.
On July 16, 2018, the Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-categories switched to the Expression of Interest (EOI) eligibility system. For Saskatchewan, the name of the system, OASIS, is also relevant.
If you meet the eligibility criteria for one of these two sub-programs and want to immigrate through them, the first step is to express interest.
To do this, you need to create a profile in the OASIS system, fill in the required information and submit it for consideration.
If you meet all the eligibility criteria and have a good record, you may soon receive an invitation to submit a full application for the Saskatchewan immigration program.
