Saskatchewan Holds the First SINP Draw of 2024

Canada’s Saskatchewan holds the first round of invitations under the provincial program.

On March 7, 2024, Saskatchewan issued 35 invitations under expression of interest (EOI) selections. Of these, 14 were for candidates eligible for the Occupations In-Demand pathway. The remaining 21 went out to those with profiles in the federal Express Entry system of Canada. The minimum score requirement for all candidates was EOI 89.

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) functions under Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program. A PNP nomination is worth CRS 600 points for an Express Entry candidate. Therefore, a nomination by a province or territory is a guarantee of receiving an invitation to apply.

Only those specifically invited by the Canadian Government can submit their complete applications for a Canada PR visa.
