The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has launched a new International Healthcare Worker Expression of Interest (EOI) pool, for healthcare workers interested in working and living in the province. The pool aims to connect foreign healthcare workers with the job opportunities in Saskatchewan. So those who are interested in working in a selected healthcare occupation in Saskatchewan may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) online for the same. After reviewing whether the applicant has the skills being sought by an employer, the province will contact them with detailed information on how to apply for a job opportunity.
If the candidate then receives a job offer, they may apply for a provincial nomination from Saskatchewan under either the International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer Stream or the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot.
