Saskatchewan Launches New EOI Pool to Provide Job Opportunities to Healthcare Workers
Saskatchewan revealed a new International Healthcare Worker Expression of Interest (EOI) Pool that will be under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). Take note that this new International Healthcare Worker EOI submission process is not an application to the SINP; it is a pre-application form that will allow the candidates to submit an online form that indicates their interest in working in a selected health care occupation in the province.
Your submitted qualifications will be reviewed by Saskatchewan to see if you possess the skills that an employer is looking for, if you do, the province will reach out to you with the needed information on how you’ll be able to apply for a job opportunity. You may be eligible to apply for the SINP’s hard-to-fill Skills Pilot or International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer if you receive a job offer. You must have a professional background that falls under either one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes for you to be able to submit an EOI. You may visit the SINP website for a guide on how to create an EOI profile.
