December 24, 2022
Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) have specific streams that are targeted to candidates with work experience in a specific occupation, which is in-demand in that particular province. When this is the case, there is usually no need to hold a job offer in order to be eligible to the stream. However, only a few provinces have these kinds of streams, and sometimes there are other factors that would prohibit a candidate living and working outside of Canada from applying.

This article will let you know the occupations that are in-demand in the provinces, if applicable. Click below on the province you are interested in.

Saskatchewan Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand streams

​As of September 18, 2019, the SINP has increased by around 200 the number of eligible occupations in its list of in-demand occupations. However, having work experience in one of the NOC codes below does not necessarily mean that you will receive an invitation from the SINP.
