Get Canada PR Without JOB OFFER in 2024 | SINP – OID – Best Immigration Program

1. The international skilled worker
2. The Saskatchewan experience
3. Entrepreneur
4. The farm owner and operator programs

Among all of these the International Skilled Worker and the Saskatchewan Experience streams are the most sought after ones as they are meant for skilled professionals and the other two streams are really expensive as they require a lot of capital investment.

International skilled worker stream is further divided into three sub-streams which are

• The occupation in demand
• Employment offer
• The Saskatchewan express entry stream

The employment offer is a stream as the name suggests requires a job offer from an employer in Saskatchewan. The Express Entry stream has high requirements like a high CLB7 IELTS requirement etc. As it is an express entry oriented stream. So the Occupation in Demand stream has the least requirements that’s why we’ll be covering this Stream in this article.

Who can apply under the occupation in demand stream

Those candidates who are working in occupations or NOCs that are currently in demand in Saskatchewan. you don’t necessarily have to have a job offer from the province but you do need to meet the eligibility criteria. This stream gives the opportunity to candidates to get their Canadian Permanent Residence through the SINP even if they don’t qualify for the express entry program and if they don’t have a high CRS score to make an express entry profile. Apart from tech engineering and IT positions that are in demand for most provinces, Saskatchewan has shown a demand for positions in real estate, sales, caretakers, store workers, clerks, registered nurses and truck drivers as well.

Eligibility Requirements

For this stream the first requirement is your education, the minimum education requirement for this stream is a High School degree or a diploma. You’ll need an ECA report for all education credentials completed outside canada from designated evaluation services. You can get your ECA from WES, ICS, IQAS, ICE or comparative education service from the University of Toronto.

Next requirement is language proficiency. You’ll need a language test score of at least CLB4 in your IELTS or your test for French CLB4.

Next requirement is work experience. You’ll need to have a minimum of one year of skilled work experience which means it should be from TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3. You can find the NOC TEER level of your job position directly from the Canadian Immigration Portal (HERE).

This experience must be aligned with your studies so it has to be related to your field of education. This experience can be recent or even from any time in the past 10 years. You need reference letters from your supervisor or human resources officer to prove your work experience. Which must be printed on company letterheads.
