The guide below takes a deep look into one of the streams of Saskatchewan's Provincial Nominee Program (SINP), the Occupation In-Demand (OID) 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 Occupation In-Demand stream
|
The Occupation In-Demand (OID) stream is one of Saskatchewan's PNP streams that does not require the candidate to hold a job offer to be eligible. However, the stream does require the candidate to have work experience in a set of in-demand occupations.
When receiving a nomination under the OID 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 OID stream has minimum eligibility requirements, however, the SINP does not send Invitations to Apply to every candidate that meets these minimum criteria. Each candidate, when entering the system, has a score (up to 100 points) that depends on multiple factors (explained in detail in the Eligibility Requirements section). In fact, the SINP conducts periodic OID draws, and each draw has its minimum threshold score and the list of invited NOC occupation codes, and all candidates with scores above or equal to that draw's threshold and have experience in one of the NOC codes are invited to apply. More information is available in the Draw History section of this guide.
