Eligibility Requirements for Saskatchewan Occupation In-Demand

The Saskatchewan Occupations In-Demand subcategory does not correspond to the federal Express Entry system. As a result, those who qualify can apply directly to the Canadian government for permanent residence status without creating an Express Entry profile or receiving an invitation to apply (ITA) in an Express Entry draw.

Who Can Apply?

  • If you do not have a job offer in Saskatchewan but have an experience in an in-demand occupation.
  • If your intent is clear and you have devised a complete roadmap for your permanent settlement in Saskatchewan.

  • Language Proficiency: You must show your language proficiency in English or French. You must appear for a valid language test. Your language proficiency score must be equivalent to the Canadian Language Benchmark level 4 or higher.
  • Education: Your education must be equivalent to a Canadian one-year post-secondary diploma. If you have completed your education in Saskatchewan, you must submit your certification along with the application. If you have finished your education outside of Canada, you must submit an educational credential assessment (ECA) from a designated organization.
  • Work Experience: You must demonstrate at least one year of full-time work experience with a minimum of 30 hours per week. Your work experience must be in a highly skilled occupation (TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3). Your work experience must be related to your employment and education.
  • Point Assessment Grid: You must score at 60 points on the SINP Point Assessment Grid.
  • Settlement Funds: You must meet the settlement funds requirement as determined by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Your settlement fund must be liquid, and your assets, including real estate, bonds etc.
