The guide below takes a deep look into one of the streams of Saskatchewan's Provincial Nominee Program (SINP), the Employment Offer (EO) stream. The guide will go through an overview of the stream, its eligibility requirements, how it works, the documentation needed, its cost and processing times.
Overview of the Employment Offer stream
|
The Employment Offer (EO) stream is one of Saskatchewan's PNP streams that requires the candidate to hold a job offer from a Saskatchewan employer to be eligible.
When receiving a nomination under the EO stream, candidates can then apply for Permanent Residence to the federal government of Canada. |
This stream is not aligned with Express Entry, which means that candidates cannot take advantage of the 6-month average processing times of Express Entry. Processing times of Provincial Nominee Programs (not aligned with Express Entry) are usually longer and take at least 1 year.
The EO stream does require a valid job offer as its main eligibility requirement, and candidates do not need to provide proof of funds. There are other requirements that must be fulfilled regarding the candidate and the job offer.
