The government of Saskatchewan has made some major changes to its skilled worker program and the most important among them is the introduction of the Expression of Interest system. From July 16 onward, all applications for the skilled worker program need to be submitted through an Expression of Interest System and the applicant will receive an Invitation to Apply for provincial nomination. The Saskatchewan In-Demand Occupation List has also been updated.
An applicant is required to provide the necessary documentation related to their profession and all other documents to ensure the smooth processing of their application. If not, the applicant will receive back their invitation and the application fee will not be refunded.
