Saskatchewan PNP Expression of Interest System
Through the Expression of Interest system, Saskatchewan selects immigration candidates who can contribute towards the growth of its economy with their skills and work experience. The candidates are assessed on the basis of various eligibility factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency and previous connections to the province.
Based on these factors, each Expression of Interest profile is awarded a score out of 100. Those with the highest scores receive invitations to apply for provincial nomination from Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan PNP Express Entry
The Express Entry sub-category of Saskatchewan PNP is aligned to the federal Express Entry system. The Express Entry system of Canada manages applications for immigration under the three economic immigration programs, which are the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class. To receive provincial nomination from Saskatchewan, Express Entry candidates must first submit an Expression of Interest to the Saskatchewan PNP. If nominated by the province, they will receive an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System score points that would guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
