The requirement of Expression of Interest
The candidates are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile along with the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). The SINP uses an Expression of Interest system to invite the immigrants to apply for the provincial nomination. The concerned candidates are required to create an EOI profile. In this, they have to prove their intent to live and settle in Saskatchewan. They also have to demonstrate their work experience, age, education, language proficiency, and their ties in the province. By assessing the following factors, the SINP designates the candidates with a score out of 100 on the International Skilled Worker Points Assessments Grid.
The candidates who have the highest scores in the gird, they are issued an invitation in which they have to apply for the provincial nomination in the province to get Canadian permanent residence. In this draw of September 24, the minimum required score was 82 for both subcategories, under the SINP. The candidates were not required to have a job offer, but they were required to have at least one year of skilled work experience.
