Saskatchewan invites in-demand specialists
The province shares the results of immigration screening.
On May 6, Saskatchewan sent 259 invitations to applicants to apply for the province's nomination and to further pursue permanent residency in Canada.
The drawing was held among the candidates in two streams:
- skilled workers registered in Express Entry — 136 invitations;
- specialists in-demand professions — 123 invitations.
Applicants in both categories needed to score a minimum of 70 points — the same number as in the previous selection, which took place on April 22.
The invited candidates had experience in one of 89 suitable professions. Some examples of suitable occupations include corporate sales managers, data processing specialists, electrical and electronics engineers and technicians, advertising and marketing managers and others.
To participate in the selection process, candidates in both categories had to create and complete profiles in the system "Expression of Interest" and Certifying Education Diploma to know its equivalent in Canada.
The Saskatchewan Provincial Program uses Expression of Interest to select candidates who have the greatest potential to succeed in the regional labour market.
Candidates' commitment to building a life in Saskatchewan is assessed on 5 factors: work experience, education, language, age and connections to the province. A maximum of 100 points can be scored.
Keep an eye on history of passing scores and number of invitations to increase your chances of receiving an invitation.
