Canada immigration news: A new Saskatchewan expression of interest pool will see the province target 21 healthcare occupations for Canada immigration.

Through the International Healthcare Worker EOI, the province plans to link qualified candidates with healthcare job vacancies through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

Candidates submit a profile to show their interest in working in Saskatchewan in one of the occupations, plus their qualifications.

Those with the required skills are then contacted by SINP officials with job vacancies, plus help on where and how to apply.

Candidates with a job offer can then apply for immigration from the SINP’s International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer sub-category or the new Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot.

International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer Sub-Category

This sub-category is for skilled workers who have a job offer for a skilled occupation in Saskatchewan. Candidates outside Canada or with proof of legal status in Canada both qualify.

What Are the Requirements For The Employment Offer Sub-Category?

  • Score a minimum of 60 points on the SINP points assessment grid;
  • Have at least one-year experience in the past 10 years in your intended occupation;
  • Have a language score of at least Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 4. Employers and regulatory bodies may ask for higher;
  • Obtain the appropriate licensure in Saskatchewan where your profession is regulated or is a skilled trade. For skilled trades, a certificate is required from the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission.
  • Have an offer of permanent, full-time employment in Saskatchewan.
  • Valid SINP Job Approval Letter;
  • Job-offer must be in NOC A, B, 0, or a designated trade.

Saskatchewan Hard-To-Fill Skills Pilot: Candidate Requirements

  • Meet a minimum Canadian Official Language proficiency level.
