Computer programmers and interactive media developers are among 13 professions that have been added to Saskatchewan’s In-Demand Occupations List.
Work experience in an occupation on the province’s In-Demand Occupations List is a requirement for both the Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand sub-categories of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).
A job offer, however, is not required for either sub-category.
Candidates who are not in the Express Entry pool may also be able to pursue a nomination by the SINP through the Occupation In-Demand sub-category.
24 occupations on the revised list
Both the Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand sub-categories use the In-Demand Occupations List among their eligibility criteria.
The new occupations are among 24 that are now on the revised list, which the SINP updated on Thursday, April 4.
