Saskatchewan issued 57 invitations through its SINP Express Entry aligned stream on September 12, 2024, with a minimum score of 88 points. This draw presents opportunities for skilled workers seeking Canadian PR.
On September 12, 2024, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) conducted an Express Entry aligned draw, issuing 57 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to qualified candidates. The minimum score required for this draw was 88 points based on Saskatchewan's points assessment grid. This draw continues Saskatchewan's commitment to attracting skilled workers who can contribute to the province's growing economy and address labor market needs.
Who Received Invitations?
This draw targeted candidates who have active profiles in both the federal Express Entry pool and the SINP Express Entry sub-category. To receive an invitation, candidates needed to meet specific criteria:
- A minimum of 88 points on the SINP points assessment grid
- An active Express Entry profile with IRCC
- Work experience in an occupation that is in-demand in Saskatchewan
- Qualifications under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Meeting all eligibility requirements for the International Skilled Worker – Express Entry sub-category
What This Means for Your Application
The minimum score of 88 points in this draw indicates that Saskatchewan continues to select candidates with moderate to strong profiles. If your SINP score is near or above 88 points, you are well-positioned to receive an invitation in upcoming draws. However, if your score falls below this threshold, consider taking steps to improve your profile. SINP draws typically occur regularly throughout the month, so candidates should ensure their profiles remain up-to-date and accurate. Processing times after receiving a provincial nomination can vary, but the additional 600 CRS points awarded for a PNP nomination virtually guarantees an invitation to apply for permanent residence in subsequent federal Express Entry draws.
