Good news for healthcare workers from Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan has introduced a new International Healthcare Worker Expression of Interest (EOI) Pool.
The basin will exist under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).
The new Expression of Interest submission process for international healthcare workers is not an application to SINP, but rather a pre-application form that allows applicants to submit an online form indicating that they are interested. to work in a selected health profession in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan will review your qualifications and if you have the skills an employer is looking for, the province will contact you to explain how to apply for a job offer.
If you then receive a job offer, you may be eligible for the SINP’s International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer or the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot.
The SINP website offers a guide on how to create an EOI profile. To submit an expression of interest, you must have professional training corresponding to one of the following codes of the National Occupational Classification (CNP).
