Saskatchewan conducted its first Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) draw since October 23 on December 27, inviting 63 candidates.
The draw encompassed two categories, with 48 candidates selected from the Occupations-in-Demand stream and 15 from the Express Entry stream. To qualify in both draws, candidates were required to have a minimum score of 69 along with Educational Credential Assessments.

Provincial Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program or PNP is a potential pathway to receive a Canadian permanent residency. Each PNP has one stream that is aligned with the Express Entry System, known as ‘Enhanced Nominations’. The advantage of enhanced PNP is that they award an extra CRS score of 600 points, guaranteeing PR to the applicant through express entry. Also, another stream under the PNP is known as ‘the base stream’. Here, you can apply to a PNP stream directly and once you obtain a provincial nomination, the federal government will process your permanent residence application.
