2019-10-21 – Saskatchewan immigration has conducted its largest-ever Express Entry draw, issuing invitations to 986 candidates.

The October 17 Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program draw required a minimum score of 67 points to qualify.

Saskatchewan’s previous largest Express Entry draw saw 466 invites issued in August 2018. It was the first draw after the launch of the Saskatchewan Expression of Interest system.

The draw was the fourth since the SINP significantly expanded its list of eligible occupations, from 19 to 218.

Detailed requirements for the Express Entry stream are included later in this article.
