Canada is one of the most sought-after destinations for skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and students looking for a better future. Among its provinces, Saskatchewan stands out as a top choice for immigration due to its strong job market, high quality of life, and lower cost of living. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) provides a direct pathway to permanent residency (PR) for individuals with skills and experience in high-demand occupations.
The Expression of Interest (EOI) system is a key step in the International Skilled Worker category of SINP. It allows Saskatchewan to select candidates who best match its labor market needs. If you are planning to apply for PR through SINP, understanding the EOI submission process is crucial.
What is an Expression of Interest (EOI)?
An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a pre-application step that allows candidates to express their interest in immigrating to Saskatchewan. It is not an application for permanent residency but rather a way for the province to select the most qualified candidates before inviting them to apply for nomination.
Once a candidate submits an EOI profile, they are ranked based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, age, and connections to Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan then conducts regular draws, inviting the highest-ranking candidates to apply for PR.
Step-by-Step Guide to Submitting an EOI for SINP
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Before submitting an EOI, ensure you meet the basic eligibility requirements for one of the SINP International Skilled Worker streams:
- Employment Offer Stream – Requires a full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer.
- Occupation In-Demand Stream – No job offer required but must have experience in an in-demand occupation.
- Saskatchewan Express Entry Stream – Must have an active Express Entry profile.
Step 2: Create an Online Profile
- Go to the SINP Online Application Portal on the Government of Saskatchewan’s website.
- Click on the Expression of Interest (EOI) submission section.
- Provide personal details, education, work experience, and language test results.
- Enter any connections to Saskatchewan, such as relatives, work history, or education in the province.
Step 3: Receive an EOI Score
- Once you submit your profile, the SINP system assigns a score based on selection factors like:
- Language Proficiency (higher scores for CLB 7 or above).
- Education Level (higher scores for post-secondary degrees).
- Work Experience (more experience = higher points).
- Age (younger applicants receive more points).
- Saskatchewan Connections (extra points for job offers, relatives, or past studies in Saskatchewan).
Step 4: Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
- Saskatchewan conducts EOI draws regularly, inviting the highest-ranked candidates to submit a full application for provincial nomination.
- If selected, you will receive a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) from the Saskatchewan government.
Step 5: Submit a Full SINP Application
- After receiving an ITA, you must submit a complete application within 60 days.
- Provide supporting documents, such as:
- Passport and ID documents.
- Educational credentials (ECA required for foreign degrees).
- Language test results (IELTS/CELPIP).
- Proof of work experience (reference letters, pay stubs, etc.).
- Settlement funds proof (for Occupation In-Demand stream).
Step 6: Receive Provincial Nomination & Apply for PR
- If your SINP application is approved, you will receive a Provincial Nomination Certificate.
- You can then apply for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
