Check out in this page a summary of all in-demand NOC occupations that could get you a provincial nomination (PNP)
Home > Work in Canada > Permanent Residency > Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) > Which PNP are currently open? > In-Demand NOC Occupations List (PNP)
March 19, 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 In-Demand Occupations

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.
