Saskatchewan held new draws through its Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand immigration sub-categories May 22, producing a total of 325 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
Of that total, 221 invitations went to Occupation In-Demand candidates and 104 went to candidates in Saskatchewan’s Express Entry sub-category.
Both sub-categories are key components of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), which allows Saskatchewan to nominate economic immigration candidates who meet specific labour needs in the province.
Immigration is a key driver of population and labour force growth in Saskatchewan, which has welcomed more than 108,000 newcomers from 170 countries since 2007.
