SASKATCHEWAN CONDUCTS FIRST EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW

The province of Saskatchewan has issued its first invitations to Express Entry candidates through the new Expression of Interest system introduced in July, and revised its In-Demand Occupation List in the process.

466 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination were issued to candidates in the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program. The cut off score was 68 based on 100 point grid 

The province also revised the In-Demand Occupations List in order to ensure that “nominees with positive employment prospects in Saskatchewan are selected and nominations do no exceed employment demand.”

Of the 22 in-demand occupations on Saskatchewan’s updated In-Demand Occupations List, three do not require candidates to obtain specific professional licensure.
