The Provincial Nominee Program of Saskatchewan, called Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), has introduced certain changes to its in-demand occupation list. The occupation list applies to the International Skilled Worker – Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand sub-categories of Saskatchewan PNP.
The in-demand occupations list of Saskatchewan PNP previously had 36 occupations. Now the list has been updated by removing 12 occupations and adding nine.

Of the 33 occupations in the updated in-demand list, seven occupations do not require professional licensure.

One can apply for and obtain the licensure for many of these occupations from outside Canada.
