Saskatchewan immigration: provincial nominee streams

Applications are open in 2026 but the EOI page says no EOI draws are currently scheduled. Capped sectors (accommodation and food services, trucking, retail trade) are handled in six intake windows (January, March, May, July, September, November); priority sectors have continuous intake. The Program Selector tool was archived on 2026-01-02.

How the province selects

International Skilled Worker EOI ranked on a 100-point grid with invitations by selection, occupation or sector; employer job-offer routes use sector allocations (priority at least 50%, capped sectors at most 25%).
