Saskatchewan has slowed down
The province invited significantly fewer candidates than in previous months.

- Saskatchewan Express Entry system — 59 invitations;

Candidates had to score at least 84 points in the evaluation system. Points were awarded for factors such as work experience, education, language skills, age and provincial ties. In addition, all invitees needed to have experience in one of the following occupations:
- production and transportation logistics coordinators;
- computer and information systems managers;
- data specialists;
- cybersecurity experts;
- business systems specialists;

- database analysts and data administrators;

The previous selection was held August 16 — and it was extremely atypical, because invitations were sent out for candidates from strictly defined countries. The passing score then was much lower, only 60. And the last regular provincial selection was held June 8, at which time the pass rate was also much lower than this time, and many more invitations were sent out. And September 7 Saskatchewan held a selection for entrepreneurs.
