Province Launches New Pathway Under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program

The province has announced the new Tech Talent Pathway under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) to attract highly skilled technology professionals into the province.

The Tech Talent Pathway will support Saskatchewan’s thriving tech sector by easing critical labour shortages. The SINP is known around the world and is the leading immigration program for those relocating to Saskatchewan. Employers in Saskatchewan’s technology and innovation sectors will be able to attract more highly skilled talent to support expansion of this sector and increase Saskatchewan’s global competitiveness.

This new stream will facilitate and expedite the permanent immigration of tech workers already working in Saskatchewan, as well as those who have been recruited outside Canada.

To be eligible, applicants to the Tech Talent Pathway must have:

  • An employer specific SINP Job Approval Letter for an eligible technology sector occupation;
  • a minimum official language level of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 5 if the applicant is not working in Saskatchewan when they apply or CLB level 7 if applying for Express Entry;
  • at least one-year of work experience in that occupation in the past five years; or six months working in Saskatchewan;
  • post-secondary education; and
  • be eligible for Saskatchewan professional licensing (applicable to eligible computer, software, electrical and electronics engineers).

The Tech Talent Pathway is scheduled to launch March 7, 2022. To learn more about the new stream, please visit http://www.saskatchewan.ca/tech-applicants.
