Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) held the latest rounds of invitations on May 25, inviting 269 immigrants to apply for a provincial nomination for Canada PR Visa.

Candidates were invited through SINP's International Skilled Worker subcategory - Occupation In-demand.

For candidates to be eligible for an invitation they need to score a minimum of 65 points in the SINP points assessment grid. Also, they must have work experience in any one of 59 in-demand occupations in the province. Some of these SINP in-demand occupations are Educational counselors, medical laboratory technicians, social workers, etc.

Express Entry candidates who get a provincial nomination are awarded extra 600 CRS points added to their profile. These many points effectively guarantee an Invitation To Apply (ITA) to apply for a PR Visa.
