This month has been pivotal for about 35 individuals and families who aspires to call Canada their permanent home. Saskatchewan, through its Expression of Interest (EOI) draw, issued invitations to these candidates, opening doors to a new chapter of their lives in the Great White North. After a break of almost two months, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) resumed its selection process with this much-anticipated draw. The province, known for its welcoming stance towards skilled immigrants, reaffirmed its commitment to attracting talent from across the globe.

Among the 35 invitations issued, 14 were issued to candidates eligible under the Occupations In-Demand pathway, while the remaining 21 invitations were issued to individuals with profiles in the federal Express Entry system. Each recipient boasted an impressive minimum score of 89 in the EOI selection process, a testament to their suitability for provincial nomination. Integral to the selection process was the requirement for candidates to have professional experience in specific occupations, as delineated by their National Occupational Classification (NOC). This ensures that successful candidates possess the requisite skills and expertise to contribute meaningfully to Saskatchewan's economy and society.

Receiving an invitation from the provincial government is not merely a formality but a significant milestone in the immigration journey. It represents an opportunity for candidates to submit complete applications for a Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) visa, thereby inching closer to realizing their dream of settling permanently in Canada.
