The SINP has a system of assessment based on a score on the Points Assessment grid of the International Skilled Worker stream. The score out of 100 points is given by SNIP. The candidates who score the highest are sent ITAs to apply for a provincial nomination for Canada PR from Saskatchewan.

Express Entry 138 of the total invitations issued in the draw went to Express Entry candidates. These are candidates who have their profiles in the Express Entry pool. The Express Entry system of the federal government serves the purpose of managing the applications of candidates applying for Canada’s 3 main economic-class immigration programs namely FSTP, FSWP, and CEC.

If an Express Entry candidate gets a provincial nomination, he/she will be given 600 extra CRS points that will increase his/her chances of getting an ITA in an upcoming federal Express Entry draw. Occupations in-demand For those immigration candidates who don’t have a federal Express Entry profile, the Occupations In-demand sub-category is one to participate in.
