Saskatchewan’s International Skilled Worker
There are two ways for international applicants to apply for the Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker program. The first is the Saskatchewan Express Entry stream, which requires an active Express Entry profile. The second is the Saskatchewan Occupations In-Demand stream, which doesn’t need an Express Entry profile.
You may qualify for the Saskatchewan Express Entry stream if you live outside Canada and:
- Have a valid Express Entry profile number and a valid job seeker code.
- On the SINP point assessment grid, you must score at least 60 points.
- Your language test result must meet the Express Entry language requirements.
- Have completed post-secondary school or training comparable to at least one year of Canadian education.
- You must have earned a diploma, certificate, or degree.
- Worked in a job, not on the Excluded Occupations List.
- You must have work experience that relates to your employment and education.
- Show settlement funds and a settlement plan.
If you are highly skilled in an in-demand occupation, then you can apply for the Saskatchewan Occupations In-Demand stream.
Alberta’s Express Entry Stream
Alberta uses the Federal Express Entry system to manage its Express Entry pool. A provincial nomination from Alberta will raise the applicant’s CRS score by 600 points, assuring that an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR is issued in the next draw.
One of the primary benefits of this stream is that it accepts CRS scores as low as 300 for candidates who are applying through Express Entry. As a result of Alberta’s minimum CRS requirement, it is frequently regarded as one of Canada’s easiest provinces to obtain PR.
You may receive a Notification of Interest letter from Alberta if:
- You have an active Express Entry profile
- Your main occupation contributes to Alberta’s economic growth and diversification.
- You’ve expressed an interest in moving permanently to Alberta.
- You must have a 300-point or higher Comprehensive Ranking System score.
Nova Scotia Labour Market Priority Stream
The Nova Scotia Labour Market Priorities stream nominates candidates who fulfil provincial labour market demands in the Federal Express Entry system. Candidates must first obtain a Letter of Interest from the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration before applying.
To apply, you must:
- Receive a Letter of Interest from the Nova Scotia Nominee Program;
- Meet the Express Entry work experience requirements;
- Show proof of sufficient funds to start your life in Nova Scotia and pay for your immigration fees and travel expenses;
- Satisfy eligibility requirements at the time you receive a Letter of Interest; and
- Have a valid Express Entry number and fulfil all IRCC requirements for the Express Entry pool.
Ontario Express Entry Human Capital Priorities stream
Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities stream is part of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). It provides foreign workers with the required skills, language abilities, and education levels to apply for permanent residency in Ontario.
Following are the requirements to apply for this program:
- At least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience (or the equivalent in paid part-time work) in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B.
- Your work experience must have been acquired within the last five years and be in the same primary occupation defined in your Express Entry profile.
- You must have a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD degree from Canada or another country with the same level of academic achievement.
- You must have language skills (English or French) at a Canadian Language Benchmark level 7 or higher.
- You must have enough cash to support yourself and your dependent family when you come to Canada.
- You must intend to reside in Ontario after you’ve been granted permanent residence.
- If you want to be considered for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). In that case, you must achieve a minimum score of 67 on the six selection criteria (education, language skills, work experience, age, arranged employment in Canada, and adaptability).
