International Skilled Worker EOI System

Please find the results from the EOI Selection on August 15, 2019, at the bottom of the page.

Please note that the list of occupations eligible through the EOI system has expanded. See Occupations
In-Demand and Express Entry Occupation Requirements for more information.

Invitations to Apply will expire after 60 days and cannot be extended.

If you are eligible under the Occupations In-Demand or Express Entry sub-categories, you will be able to
submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). Submitting an EOI is your first step to applying to the SINP.

What is an International Skilled Worker Expression of Interest (EOI)?

An International Skilled Worker EOI submission is not an application to the SINP.

An International Skilled Worker EOI is a pre-application process which allows candidates to fill in an
online form to indicate their interest in applying to the SINP and demonstrate their qualifications.

The information requested is based on SINP criteria and is used to assess your eligibility, and determine
whether your submission is entered into the International Skilled Worker EOI system.

Candidates with attributes aligned to the needs of Saskatchewan's labour market and immigration
objectives are selected from the International Skilled Worker EOI system. These attributes include
connections to the province, work experience, and language proficiency. Those selected from the system
are issued an “Invitation to Apply.”

Not all candidates who submit an International Skilled Worker EOI will be invited to apply to the SINP.
There are no limits on the number of candidates who can submit an EOI; however, candidates can only
have one EOI profile.

For assistance on how to create your EOI profile, please see this EOI OASIS Guide.

After registering in the online system, in your EOI profile you will be asked to provide the following
information:

 Passport number
 Date of birth
 Yes or No to having an Immigration Representative (and their name if applicable)
 Confirm that you are a “skilled worker who wants to live and work in Saskatchewan”
  Yes or No to having a job offer
 Yes or No to being accepted into IRCC’s Express Entry pool
 Occupation
 Yes or No to having an Education Credential Assessment
 Yes or No to having proof of eligibility for licensure or professional certification if required
 Points score

o Education level
o Years of work experience
o Age
o Language ability (test results)
o Close family relative in Saskatchewan
o Past work experience in Saskatchewan
o Past student experience in Saskatchewan

How the EOI System Works

If you successfully create and submit an EOI, you will be entered into the EOI pool of eligible candidates.

 Your profile will be valid for one year from the day you submit it.
 Candidates can only have one active EOI profile in the system at any time.
 You will be ranked based on the information you provide in your profile.
 The highest ranking candidates will regularly be invited to submit a complete application to the
SINP. Invitations to Apply are done through Expression of Interest Draws.
 The SINP uses an electronic system for both the submission of EOIs and applications for
nomination and will communicate with you via email. Please ensure that you provide a valid email
address.
 If you are invited to submit an application, you can use the same log-in information you created
for your EOI to complete your application for nomination.
 You must make sure that the information you provide in your EOI is current and accurate at all
times. If your situation changes, you must update your profile.
 If we find that you provided false information or left out important details, your application will be
refused.

The SINP reserves the right to limit the intake of EOI. As well, the SINP may limit the selection of EOIs by
occupation so that nominees with positive employment prospects in Saskatchewan are selected and
applications do not exceed employment demand. For information regarding Saskatchewan's employment
demand forecast, please visit our Labour Market Information page.
How EOI Candidates Are Ranked

Those who successfully complete an Expression of Interest profile automatically receive a score based on
a number of criteria. You can find the criteria for the EOI point score in the SINP point assessment grid.

The SINP’s Expression of Interest selection process will use a sequence that begins by identifying those
with the highest point scores. If too many candidates have the same or equal point score to meet the EOI
Draw's desired number of candidates, then further selection criteria will be applied – connections to the
province; work experience; and official language ability.

To select among those with equal scores, candidates with connections to Saskatchewan will be chosen
first. These are people who receive points for having a close family relative in Saskatchewan; and/or past
work experience in Saskatchewan; and/or past student experience in Saskatchewan. The next selection
criterion will prioritize those with the highest number of years of work experience and highest language
scores.

These factors all play a role in your future economic success in Saskatchewan. A goal of the EOI system
is to ensure strong economic outcomes and long-term retention in Saskatchewan for those invited to
apply.

The SINP may make occupation-specific selections from the EOI system, which means that only
candidates with occupations chosen by the SINP will be invited to apply during that selection.

The criteria can change at any time regarding eligibility or the selection process for EOIs. EOIs that do not
meet the criteria will not be selected. You will not be invited to apply unless your occupation is eligible and
in-demand. For more information, please see the Occupations In-Demand and Express Entry Occupation
Requirements page, as well as the Detailed Occupational Outlook currently being used by the SINP. If
you received your invitation to apply prior to the removal of your occupation from the list, your application
will still be accepted.

Your Invitation to Apply

As required by the SINP, the EOIs are drawn from the system and those selected receive an Invitation to
Apply. The number of invitations issued in each draw is dependent on annual processing targets and
employment demands.
If you are invited to apply, your invitation will advise you on what to do next. You will have 60 days to
submit a complete online application to the SINP and provide documents that support the information you
provided to the SINP in your EOI. Your Invitation to Apply will not be extended. If your invitation has
expired, you can submit a new profile which may be eligible for future EOI Draws.

If you provide false or misleading information in your EOI, it may be considered misrepresentation. Your
application could be refused and you may be banned from applying to the SINP for a period of two years.

Your EOI will remain active for one year from the date you originally created it. After it expires, you will
have to create a new EOI to still be active in the system.

While your EOI is active, you can continue to update your profile with new information. For example, you
can improve your score and increase your chances of receiving an invitation by:

 improving your language score by taking additional tests; and/or,

 gaining more work experience.

After You Receive Your Invitation to Apply

After receiving an invitation to apply to either the Occupations In-Demand or Saskatchewan Express
Entry sub-category, you will be required to pay the non-refundable $350 CAD application processing fee.
You must login using the same account that you created for your EOI profile to complete and submit your
application.

For further information about what documents are needed for your application, please see the category
page that corresponds with your Invitation to Apply.

employment prospects in Saskatchewan are selected and nominations do not exceed employment
demand.

The size and frequency of EOI Selections will be determined by the needs of the SINP application
inventory. Selections will take place on a monthly basis, at minimum. The dates of the selections will not
be posted before they take place.
