WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?

Step 1: Get a Job Offer

Before you can submit your application under the “Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker: Tech Talent Pathway – Express Entry”, you must have a bona fide full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer in an eligible occupation.

If you don’t already have a qualified job offer with the criteria explained in “Minimum Requirements”, you need to find an employer and secure a job for yourself.

Step 2: Create Express Entry Profile

For a chance to be invited to apply under this pathway, you must create an Express Entry Profile (➨Page) for yourself. Within your Express Entry profile make sure you have stated an interest in immigrating permanently to Saskatchewan.

Since you are eligible under one of the three (3) economic immigration programs (Federal Skilled Workers Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program or Canadian Experience Class), you will be accepted into the pool of candidates.

Step 3: Submit Application to SINP

Now that you meet all the requirements, you can apply online ➨ (immilib.com/STTEE-Apply) for yourself.

Complete the different sections of your online application. Scan and upload all your completed forms and required documents in PDF format onto your online application. Keep the originals for your records.

There is no provincial application fee under this stream.

If your application is complete, you will receive a letter or email confirming that your file has been received and accepted for processing.

If your application is approved, you will receive a nomination certificate through the Express Entry portal. The SNIP will also email you a nomination certificate that you should retain for your records.

You must accept the nomination within thirty (30) days after it is issued through the Express Entry portal in order to receive an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence.

When you accept a nomination, you are awarded 600 additional points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) (➨Page). This will help you quickly get invited to apply for permanent residence through your Express Entry profile.

Step 4: Apply for Permanent Residence

You can only apply for permanent residence (➨Page) through Express Entry if you’ve received an invitation to apply.

Your Express Entry invitation to apply is valid for sixty (60) days only.

Apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (if applicable)

For those of you who are in Saskatchewan on a valid work, once you submit your complete PR application, you may apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) (➨Page). This will let you continue working on a valid work permit until your PR application is finalized.

Step 5: Landing in Canada

If your application is approved, you will be asked to pay your right of permanent residence fee if you haven't already done so. You will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) and if you are from a country that requires a visa you will also be issued a permanent resident visa.

You will only become a Permanent Resident of Canada when you cross a Canadian port of entry. This is referred to as ‘landing in Canada' (➨Page).

You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one (1) year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as the Canada Immigration Visa is received.
